PDF of this tutorialRemoteability is the ability to deploy the minimum amount of technology required to support the demand of a given market segment, multidwelling unit (MDU), or neighborhood and then scale that equipment up to meet demand. This allows a lower breakeven point for entry into new markets and more economical growth and demand warrants.
A DSLAM’s remote solutions bring DSL capability into areas that require only a handful of DSL lines (e.g., a message display unit [MDU]), as well as into areas requiring a substantial number of DSL lines (e.g., large remote terminal sites). Scalable uplink solutions are also provided so that uplink capacity can be appropriately matched with traffic, thus putting uplink tariff costs in line with revenue generated from the line services.
DSLAM remote options may include a remote line-card shelf (RLCS) and a remote access module. A remote access module should be environmentally hardened for installation in outside digital-loop carrier (DLC) cabinets and be rack- or wall-mountable for remote indoor applications.
