The ACT 2300 offers service providers a venue for expanding as well as replacing existing channel banks while adding intelligence to their digital carrier systems. "In developing the ACT 2300, ADTRAN has responded to the public service providers' need to effectively replace the discontinued D4 channel bank with a fully compatible channel bank that also offers intelligence as well as redundant powering options," Product Manager Bill Calk said. "This channel bank has also been accepted as an alternative for the discontinued AT&T D5." The ACT 2300 provides standard 23-inch data port housing, just like the D4 channel bank, but terminates a single T1 and is equivalent to half of a D4 bank, and therefore inherently limits the chance of having a single point of failure. "Two ACT 2300 channel banks effectively replace one D4 bank, yet are more cost effective and reliable than the D4," Calk said. Additionally, ADTRAN and DSC (1) (Digital Signal Controller) A microcontroller and DSP combined on the same chip. It adds the interrupt-driven capabilities normally associated with a microcontroller to a DSP, which typically functions as a continuous process. See microcontroller and DSP.
