Service Provisioning Platform for G.shdsl, SDSL, HDSL, HDSL2 and IDSL

GDC's Universal xDSL Access System (UAS) products enable carriers, transportation and utility companies, campuses, and multi-tenant facility managers to optimize their extensive copper investment using DSL technologies. UAS products are built for maximum equipment integration and global service provisioning on one platform enabling 2-wire loops to be used for connection to any switched or leased line service platform. Packaging choices range from high density shelves for central sites or carrier offices to desktop units and 2 slot enclosure for remote installations and customer locations.

UAS advantages include:

Reduced Facility and Hardware Costs-Subrate through wideband services on existing 2 and 4-wire copper loops; G.shdsl, HDSL, HDSL2, IDSL, SDSL, and SHDSL services integrated on one NEBS Level 3 Compliant shelf. shelf.
Reduced Network Switch Costs-Grooming and multiplexing N x 56/64 kbps DSL loops into full T1/E1 lines reduces the number of ports needed on DACS, frame relay or ATM switches.
SNMP-based Management - GDC's TEAM Network Management System provides customized element manager software packages for all UAS products, enabling coplete, end-to-end management and total visibility to every circuit.

TEAM

Total Enterprise Access Management

GDC's standards-based, distributed Network Management architecture enables Network Operators to monitor and manage any IP-addressable network elements and legacy devices with serial ports via dial-up, Internet or LAN-attached connections using protocols like SNMP, Telnet, PPP, and Ethernet.

TEAM applications support large numbers of network elements making it particularly effective in environments with many unattended remote sites. TEAM's distributed architecture allows either centralized control from a single point or management via multiple controllers located throughout the network.

TEAM delivers high visibility with a custom designed GUI. This unique "GDC View" of the network provides intuitive integration with remote devices and immediate access to all management functions without a complex hierarchy of menus. The TEAM GUI provides a user-friendly alternative to the complicated MIB browser utilities found on most SNMP software packages. All SNMP commands are completely transparent to the user.

TEAM is a collection of applications fully integrated into HP OpenView. It can run on powerful, multitasking UNIX workstations using HPUX and Solaris operating systems. Capabilities include fault, configuration, performance and accounting management. With TEAM network administrators can detect system malfunctions early - before they affect service to users. They can also monitor current network usage with statistics on performance and utilization.

TEAM network management application packages are available for the full range of GDC's analog and digital SNMP-managed access products, including DSUs, CSUs, modems, multiplexers and DSLware products. It is offered both as a standalone application package and as a complete systems solution including hardware/software manager platform and a fully-integrated applications package.
