DigiTest EDGE
Broadband Test
Platform
The ideal solution for co-location sites,
remote terminals and small, next-generation
central offices delivering diverse broadband
services.
DSLAMs, BLCs and other intelligent access
elements are commonly deployed at the edge
of the network to accommodate advanced digital
services and packet backhaul. As the edge of
the network pushes further out and fiber reaches
toward the subscriber, the need for testing
and assurance remains, yet it requires distribution
to lower-density locations.
The DigiTest® EDGE® form factor and functionality is precisely
aimed to test at the network edge and lower-density
locations. DigiTest EDGE is the ideal solution
for co-location sites, remote terminals and
small, next-generation central offices delivering
diverse broadband services. The DigiTest
EDGE’s modular
and compact design can accommodate up to three
separate test resources to test multiple services.
Within the highly distributed architectures
of today’s broadband network, the DigiTest
EDGE can co-reside with network elements—such
as BLCs and DSLAMs—and shared to multiple
elements.
Testing applications include POTS, DSL and
DS1 qualification, provisioning verification
and in-service troubleshooting. Precise, DC/metallic,
narrowband and wideband testing capabilities
are included, with the option to add multi-layered
CPE/subscriber and ISP emulation to support
a wide variety of DSL, ATM, IP and HTTP test
applications.
The modularity of the DigiTest EDGE allows
for future upgrades as additional new services
are deployed, including the ability to add
new modules and enhance service testing functionality
via firmware downloads. Multiple northbound
communications options are available to accommodate
nearly every scenario. The DigiTest EDGE can
also act as an access server to consolidate
communications to serial devices.
