ADC PROFESSIONAL SERVICES Commissioning and Integration Services for Network Deployments Deploy services more rapidly Generate new revenue Reduce costs Manage and reduce complexity COMMISSIONING AND INTEGRATION SERVICES It’s often said that the keys to success in telecommunications are improving customer loyalty and revenue growth while reducing costs; that the provider who can attract and retain customers, bundle attractive new services and decrease overall costs will succeed where others fail. Effectively managing in an increasingly complex network environment requires technical expertise and a strong focus on results. Time to market is a critical element in this success, as faster service deployment increases competitiveness. ADC’s commissioning and integration services ensure the rapid deployment of network elements. ADC provides a single turnkey solution that helps to reduce costs and the time it takes to deliver new services, regardless of equipment type, platform or service. We rapidly and efficiently incorporate current and next-generation equip- ment into wireless, fixed wire and cable networks. We simplify even the most complex of network integration projects, and in the process cut the time it takes to deploy new services. And less deployment time means faster time to revenue. Our 20 years of experience with multivendor, multitechnology and multiservice networks, along with expertise with equipment from more than 60 network equipment manufacturers, makes ADC the ideal services partner for applications that include: • Optical transport • FTTx • Voice over IP • High-availability broadband networks • Resilient packet ring networks • Wireless networks • Data centers • Disaster recovery • Technology migration >>>>>> COMMISSIONING AND INTEGRATION SERVICES FOR NETWORK DEPLOYMENTS COMMISSIONING AND INTEGRATION SERVICES ADC uses a proven multiphase process to identify, define and deliver network capacity. DEFINING As nearly all network upgrades are unique, the discovery phase helps both the service provider and ADC understand and document the application and design for the network deployment and integration. This upfront process ensures that the network integration plan will meet the specific needs, and that the investment will bring new revenues to the operator as quickly as possible. PLANNING Based on the discovery process, ADC devel- ops a scope of work that includes: • Site identification • Deliverable requirements • Key project milestones • Methods of Procedures (MOP) • Test specifications • A checklist for integration tests • A quality plan • The documentation requirements for final project completion • A communication and escalation plan • A change-order management plan IMPLEMENTATION To get all the network elements ready for service, ADC’s commissioning and integration engineers: • Install the plug-in modules • Verify the power-on sequence • Manage the IP addressing • Load and verify the operating software, configuration files and parameters • Establish network center communications • Perform local and remote continuity, loopback and alarm testing • Measure and adjust the signal performance • Perform integration and soak testing of the interoffice and intraoffice network elements • Validate the network readiness • Provide customer documentation DEFINING – PLANNING – IMPLEMENTATION Testing is a critical stage in this process. Carriers’ standards are very stringent and require the use of high-end test sets to absolutely ensure the equipment is ready for live operation. ADC has the technicians, tools, and experience for: • Network management system tests • Optical interface tests • Perform measurement tests, including: - Analysis of network performance by simulating abnormal conditions and inserting various errors and alarms - Performing bulk payload testing on circuits at DS0 to OC192 rates - Performing in-service monitoring of the circuit under test to ensure quality of service - Bit Error Rate Testing • Synchronization integrity verification, which includes verifying proper network timing by measuring jitter at DS1 and DS3 tributary interfaces • Protection switching tests • Testing far-end loop back (required to confirm that channels can carry provisioned traffic between end points) • Testing graduated loop back (recommend- ed for locating faults without removing or replacing network equipment) • Multiservice testing for: -ATM - SONET - H323 - IEEE802.3x - 802.P - 802.3Q - 802.3ac - GR-303 - FICON - ESCON - Fiber Channel - Gigabit Ethernet - Fast Ethernet - ISDN - Decode protocol messages - DWDM/CWDM - DSLAM - BSC/BTS COMMISSIONING AND INTEGRATION SERVICES COMMISSIONING AND INTEGRATION SERVICES As important as what we do is how we do it. Our engineers and commissioning technicians complete an extensive training process to ensure the highest possible skill level and quality. This cross-platform, multitechnology approach is critical to successful deployments and integration. As well, our commissioning technicians have years of hands-on experience in a wide variety of network deployments encompassing network elements from many manufacturers. As part of our training and development commitment, ADC operates a special Network Integration Center for both training and proof-of- concept testing. This way, we stay up to date on the latest technolo- gies and equipment, and we’re helping our customers explore new ways to get more out of their networks. As a result of ADC’s multivendor, multitechnology, multiservice approach, we can offer a turnkey solution for commissioning and integration that can reduce deployment times by up to 25% or more. Working with ADC ensures faster time to market and more time for revenue generation. Time is money. You can save both by working with a professional service organization that can bring all the pieces together. From phys- ical design to end-to-end testing and integration into a live network, from DWDM and DSLAM to wireless signaling and VoIP, ADC has the experience, expertise and quality commitment to make your next net- work project a complete success. >>>>>> MULTIVENDOR, MULTITECHNOLOGY, MULTISERVICE ABOUT ADC PROFESSIONAL SERVICES Through its Professional Services organization, ADC helps plan, deploy and maintain telecommunica- tions networks throughout the United States and Europe.
