The Acterna FST-2802 complements the wide range of technologies supported by the Acterna TestPad, a test platform used by thousands of field technicians worldwide. The Acterna TestPad enables efficient turn up and troubleshooting of SONET, SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) The European counterpart to SONET. See SONET. SDH - Synchronous Digital Hierarchy , PDH PDH - Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy , DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary , and copper-based services in access and optical transport networks, and provides monitoring of RF and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) A digital cellular phone technology based on TDMA that is the predominant system in Europe, but also used worldwide. Developed in the 1980s, GSM was first deployed in seven European countries in 1992. links in wireless networks.
