It is the industry's only true global choice for standards-based symmetric DSL deployments. The Total Access 3000 DSLAM is utilized in both central office and outside plant environments. The scalability of the ADTRAN system accommodates rural, low-density subscriber areas equally as well as more populated metropolitan locations. The flexibility of the Total Access 3000 supports applications ranging from DS1/E1-based IMA (Interactive Multimedia Association, Annapolis, MD) An earlier trade association founded in 1988 originally as the Interactive Video Industry Association. It provided an open process for adopting existing technologies and was involved in subjects such as networked services, scripting Aggregation delivery to OC-3c/STM-1 network interfaces. For remote management needs, the Total Access Element Management System (EMS) provides the user interfaces and functionality required to provision and maintain DSL and other broadband services across the entire network.
