NGN Product Solutions Guide2006/07

www.livingston.com

NGN (Next Generation Networks) is a subject that has caught the imagination of almost everyone involved within the telecommunications and IT industries. It represents what many people consider to be the largest advance in telecoms infrastructure since the Bell Telephone Company established the first telephone exchange back in 1878.

For the engineers involved with the deployment and implementation of the equipment, the key questions to be answered are: What key parameters do we need to test to know the infrastructure is working probably? How do we test them? What test equipment do we need to use?

This Product Solutions Guide is designed to provide you with information about products from the leading suppliers of the equipment which can be used to test the infrastructure – from the core out to the edge of the network (including the ‘last mile’ and customer premises). If you can’t see what you’re looking for or you need clarification on a product please call our Technical Applications Engineers who you will be happy to discuss your specific requirements.
