Tollgrade is everywhere
your broadband network needs to be.™
Tollgrade’s products and solutions provide remote test and management support for today’s voice and broadband access networks.
Proven, Multi-Layered Test Solutions for the Telecom Access Network
With over 250 million lines in test, top global operators and independent telcos worldwide utilize Tollgrade’s expertise to remotely qualify, verify provisioning, and isolate troubles – minimizing operational costs and mean-time-to-repair, while increasing revenues.
As these traditional access networks transition to a packet-based FTTx infrastructure, telecom service providers will be challenged with managing a hybrid of customers on both old and new networks without compromising today’s high standards for service quality. Tollgrade solutions are uniquely positioned help service providers with this transparent transition by leveraging a single test system architecture which maintains a full suite of legacy interfaces and test applications while being upgradeable to test today’s emerging multi-layered services, such as IP voice, data, and video.
Frank Bauer, Tollgrade Director of Technical Marketing, comments on the value of test and measurement in next gen networks during a roundtable discussion.
Understanding the need for scalability, the same solutions leveraged by the top global telecom operators have been architected specifically to provide efficient support for small, targeted networks as small as 10,000 lines.
Innovative Wireless Test Solutions for the Power Grid
LightHouse is an integrated system of easily-installed line-mounted sensors for medium voltage distribution grids. The LightHouse MV sensors form a secure wireless mesh communications network that can easily grow and expand for greater system coverage. Using field-proven 900MHz frequency hopping spread spe¨ctrum (FHSS) technology that doesn’t require secure site licensing, a robust mesh is formed that dynamically adjusts paths for reliable communications to the LightHouse AG aggregation point.
The LightHouse AG mounts to a utility pole and bridges the wireless domain into the utility’s network. information comes together in the LightHouse SW server to be viewed locally or exchanged with other enterprise applications.
