Copper cables remain the most commonly used means of network access. Ultimately, user service satisfaction levels are heavily dependent on QoS during “the last mile” of such connections. As a result, this stretch of network is fast becoming a bottleneck which significantly slows the introduction of new supplementary services. Leveraging its proven understanding of operational and maintenance (O&M) needs within the access network, Huawei has now launched a dedicated line assurance system - the iManager N2510 LAS (or N2510 for short). The N2510 is designed to evaluate, analyze, diagnose, and optimize each network’s QoS. The new system will also enhance service provisioning success rates and ensure that QoS can function intelligently while providing efficient network energy and speeding fault diagnoses. Ultimately, the N2510 will help to significantly reduce carriers’ OPEX and also greatly enhance customer satisfaction levels. As the new system has been designed in device-embedded test mode and requires no extra hardware deployment, it will also enable carriers to cut their CAPEX. The fact that the networking mode in the N2510 has been mitigated from CO to FTTB/FTTC also paves the way for a surge in the use of remote access devices. At the end of the day, the N2510’s device-embedded test configuration offers customers a far more efficient and cost-effective solution to their “last mile” QoS needs.

The line quality of “the last mile” directly influences the service experience of users, thus holding back the provisioning of new services by carriers. Hence, carriers are now concerned more about how to ensure services to “the last mile” and increase the efficiency of twisted pairs.
