The NEBS compliance testing was performed by MET Laboratories, a nationally recognized test lab. The completion of this testing facilitates full-scale, nationwide deployment of Accelerated Networks' award-winning multi-service delivery platform. Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) requirements, issued by Telcordia (formerly known as Bellcore) are the most common requirements used to assess the suitability of equipment to be installed on telecommunications network A telecommunications network is a of telecommunications links and nodes arranged so that messages may be passed from one part of the network to another over multiple links and through various nodes. facilities such as central offices. NEBS criteria are used to evaluate the ability of a product to operate as intended under electrical and physical stresses, such as electromagnetic interference See EMI. , high and low temperatures, and earthquake and vibration conditions. NEBS criteria are also used to ensure that equipment does not pose a threat to services or personnel, via analysis for fire resistance, electrical safety, and grounding. "NEBS Level 3 is the strictest standard for equipment used in telco environments," said Kiran Munj, Vice President of Engineering and co-founder of Accelerated Networks. "The successful completion of our certification underscores our commitment to building true carrier class products." Accelerated Networks' multi-service access platforms (MSAPs) are the central office or POP component of a complete integrated broadband access solution. When coupled with customer located integrated access devices An IAD is a customer premises device that provides access to wide area networks and the Internet. Specifically, it aggregates multiple channels of information including voice and data across a single shared access link to a carrier or service provider PoP (Point of Presence). (IADs), the MSAPs enable integration of a full range of voice and data services over a single local access facility. By utilizing cell-based ATM transport, the products also provide greater bandwidth efficiency The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter.
