NEBS Compliant Product Solutions for Carriers and Service Providers

"What is NEBS"

The rigorous Network Equipment Building System standards (NEBS), a requirement for Central Office equipment located in U.S. Public Switched Network centers, are a universal measure of network product excellence for carriers.

General DataComm has long manufactured products that meet stringent safety, environmental, shock and vibration standards. Our products are known in the industry as "Telco Tough". GDC focused its development program for telecommunications products specifically on the requirements in Bellcore NEBS documents GR-63-CORE and GR-1089-CORE, and GR-78-CORE, designing our equipment to meet or exceed applicable NEBS Criteria. The Level Three NEBS compliance of GDC's products is a key advantage not only for GDC's incumbent Local Exchange Carrier customers but also for the growing number of CLECs, ISPs, and other entrants into the access provider market. Less than Level III compliance can restrict deployment in certain carrier environments. By meeting the Level III requirements, GDC products can be deployed in all carrier central office environments.

General DataComm's carrier-class SpectraComm systems support your choice of 202T, V.34, ISDN, TI/FT1, T3, DDS and IP in a single high density shelf with an optional SNMP-based management system. We are continually expanding the capabilities of the SpectraComm platform with customized carrier solutions for higher speeds, more density and secure remote management.

Extending IP Connectivity

Network and IT Managers are faced with three major hurdles in today's business environment: reduced capital expenditures, increased network complexity, and increasing recurring support costs. GDC has introduced a product set that can reduce or eliminate all of those problems. And GDC products are guaranteed for 5 years and have extremely low power consumption - in most cases 6 Watts or less.
