The First Portable, Single-Ended Solution
For Qualifying Existing Lines For Video Services
New NetDSL Bulk Qualification System lets telecom
providers prepare their network for delivery of ADSL2+
EVERETT, Washington - Fluke Networks announces the availability of the NetDSL Bulk ADSL2+ Qualification System, the only portable bulk pair test system designed to fully test, pre-qualify and document the copper distribution network (F2 plant) for ADSL2+ service.
"The condition and quality of the distribution plant is increasingly important for delivering triple play services across the emerging FTTx network," said Chris Odell, president of Fluke Networks. "Our field tests show that 25 to 40% of the distribution plant will not adequately support the higher bandwidth demands of ADSL2+ for video services. The new NetDSL recovers the value of the distribution plant. Major RBOCs and PTTs have purchased our new solution to help them prepare their network for deployment of new services."
"Telecom carriers see next generation services, particularly video, as a way to offset declining telephony revenues," said Verne Anton, OSS analyst at Gartner. "Qualifying the existing copper infrastructure in the F2 sections of the plant is a fast, economical way for these service providers to deploy next generation services."
NetDSL is a portable system that provides automatic real-time analysis of the condition of the pairs. Using a series of patented algorithms and testing techniques, it performs over 15 electrical and wideband tests on the copper pair to determine what level of service the pair can support, including estimated upstream and downstream bandwidth for ADSL, ADSL2, and ADSL2+ services. NetDSL quickly identifies problems that could impact service, allowing the carrier to efficiently schedule plant pre-conditioning prior to service turn-up or corrective action. NetDSL can be configured to test up to 1,000 pairs every three hours.
NetDSL software provides an easy-to-use interface. Field workers can automatically test and analyze results without need for technician intervention. The unique DaVaR AutoQual algorithm automatically determines, in real-time, "Pass" and "Fail" conditions and estimated Upstream and Downstream bandwidth rate for ADSL services. Analyzed results can be automatically uploaded to the service provider's line records database or to marketing lists used to target distribution areas most likely to order high bandwidth services.
Price and Delivery
NetDSL is currently being used at key Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) in North America, and by large PTT in Asia and South America. It is available from Fluke Networks' and its sales channels worldwide.
