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.
