Switches Designed To Reduce Truck Rolls For xDSL Service Cornet Technology, Inc. Is Designing a New Switch to Simplify Testing of xDSL Services and Facilities June 8, 1999 Atlanta, GA Cornet Technology, Inc. announced today the SL-2000 a new test/access switch for the xDSL market. The SL-2000, part of Cornet Technology, Inc's new SureLock Series, is designed to provide full xDSL line test capability from the central office to limit the need to dispatch technicians when a failure is reported. Within the hot xDSL market, there is a need to pre-qualify subscriber loops for a given xDSL service, test provisioning service, and troubleshoot and monitor existing service. The SL-2000 is an intelligent platform that automates a variety of xDSL test access functions and improves the availability of the network elements that provide xDSL service. Cornet Technology, Inc's approach to xDSL test access emphasizes a vendor independent solution, giving network planners maximum flexibility in selecting the best test head configuration for their current requirements. "The goal of the SL-2000 is to minimize truck rolls by providing a simple and efficient way of testing xDSL services from a central site," said Bob Tilitsky, product manager for Telecommunication Products at Cornet Technology, Inc. "By performing this function, the SL-2000 will provide its customers with a competitive advantage in the speed of xDSL deployment, allow them to leverage existing investment in field test resources, and provide an efficient, flexible platform for further automation of their entire system." The SL-2000 is an Electro-mechanical relay-based switching system, with the ability to support up to 384-xDSL loops with four-vendor independent four-wire test access busses in each chassis. The system will allow multiple chassis to be chained together to support larger configurations. Functions to be included in the SL-2000 design include:
Customer testing of the SL-2000 is scheduled for third quarter FY99
and full release in the fourth quarter FY99.
