Analysis Techniques for Loop Qualification and Spectrum Management

 2000 Telcordia Technologies, Inc. All rights reserved Abstract The telecommunications industry has worked for over a decade to develop digital subscriber line (DSL) technologies to revitalize the embedded copper plant. Now the industry is on the threshold of reaping the benefits of this effort, bringing megabit-per-second connectivity to offices and homes. However, network providers must properly manage the introduction and application of these systems to the local network. Accurate engineering is critical to avoid incompatibilities and failed provisioning that would otherwise create customer disappointment, delay and higher costs.
