of next generation IP networks, providing the ability to segment faults
between the access network and customers and visibility of the customer

designed to support a full suite of physical layer measurements, and DSL
synchronizations tests for ADSL, ADSL2+ and G.SHDSL DSLAMs, plus Broadband
Internet application layer tests, including ISP emulation to confirm the
consumers' service delivery and provide optimum fault isolation and
dispatch. LoopCare's DSL testing footprint now exceeds over one million
broadband lines worldwide.
Also featured is Tollgrade's LDU 50 test unit, which provides optimum
physical testing of lines supporting triple play services served from
traditional switched networks, broadband DSLAMs or IP-based Fiber to the
