Although new networks such as ISDN provide enormous potential for high quality services and applications, very little of this potential has been used to date. The complexities of network connection alone are enough to scare off most potential users and developers. This paper describes a trial value-added network service being developed by Telstra which allows easy use cf telecommunications networks for a wide range of visual services-without subscribers or information providers needing detailed knowledge of network technology.

There is considerable interest and application potential in judiciously combining optical fibre and microwave/ mm-wave radio technology to effect efficient delivery of wireless telecommunication services. This paper explores the application of advanced optical fibre technology to the generation, and delivery to a remote antenna site, of mm-wave signals for future mobile radio and other wireless access services. The particular approach discussed deals also with the provision of a return link, utilising the same fibre as used for the forward link, from the antenna site to the base station to enable fun-duplex operation. The paper begins by outlining the need for such systems, stressing in particular the expected increase in demand for access to broadband services from a mobile or remote terminal. A description of the topology of a specific system demonstrator under development within the RACE programme is provided. This is followed by a discussion of some possible system applications, focusing in particular on the system's applicability to mobile telecommunications and the provision of telecommunication services to remote communities. The technology developed during this research project will allow the development of future standards for the definition of the interconnect between the fixed network and a mobile/remote user environment. The paper seeks also to expose broadband networks and services specialists to the capabilities of this emerging technology with a view to fostering its take up and exploitation. It is hoped that this may help to promote dialogue between the 'base technology' and the 'networks and system architectures' communities to ensure that the flexibility offered by this broadband deployment option is considered in future standards setting decisions.

In today's dynamic telecommunications environment, change is occurring on many fronts. Services and network technologies are advancing rapidly, competition among service providers is intensifying, and customer demand for network access and customized services is increasing. This rapid pace of change is forcing operating telecommunications companies to streamline, simplify, and automate their network-management operations. The most effective means of achieving these objectives is through an evolution of the existing operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) architecture. This paper extends the Element Management Layer (EML) concept in CCITT Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) into sub-network management which will enable service providers to enhance service responsiveness and achieve their business objectives, such as reducing operations costs and capitalizing on new revenue-generating opportunities. Access and Integrated Switch-access clusters are used to demonstrate the concept of sub-network management in the evolving network.

High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL) technology permits two-way 1.544 or 2.048 Mb/s transport over most existing copper telephone cables without repeaters, cable conditioning, or binder group segregation. Approximately 1000 HDSLs are now in service, and the rate of deployment is accelerating. Compared with traditional high speed copper transport systems, HDSL engineering, installation, and maintenance are simpler. Non-intrusive measurement of Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and digital performance greatly improves the HDSL's utility. HDSL permits rapid and low-cost service turn-up for private line DS1, fractional DSI rate, switched services, and access to PCS base stations. A strong synergy exists between HDSL and the fiber deployments planned for the next several years.

This paper introduces model based reasoning techniques to the different applications within and at different levels of TMN. Fault management as one of the five FCAPS (Fault-, Configuration-, Accounting-, Performance- and Security Management) applications has been chosen for exemplary application of those techniques. Within a RACE (Research in Advanced Communications for Europe) project an implementation of model based reasoning has been developed and successfully applied to fault management of different existing networks, Future work will have to be performed to fully integrate and apply these concepts to all FCAPS areas for a fully automatic provisioning of TMN functionality.

The concept of Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is to provide greater than 1.544 Mbps DSI or higher bit rate service from the networking end to the customer end through the ordinary telephone line. For purpose of evaluating the performance of the ADSL within the local loop plant of Taiwan, we utilize quadrature amplitude modulation QAM) passband signaling scheme with 16 point constellation as an example for the present study. In this paper, we present the current loop plant environment and feasibility study of ADSL in Taiwan. The loop survey results show the crosstalk loss is around 10 dB and 15 dB, respectively, worse than the ANSI model. Preliminary simulation results show the transmission coverage range can be achieved at 17 kft for the FS PIC cable and 13.5 kft for the paper cable in the presence of self-FEXT (far-end crosstalk), background noise and up to 99 disturbers NEXT (near-end crosstalk) from Basic Rate DSL. ADSL coverage range can achieve a significant portion of the entire copper loop plant as sharing the same binder group with ISDN Basic Rate Access. Replacing NEXT from Basic Rate DSL by 10-disturber HDSL NEXT, the transmission range will be shorten to be 9.5 Ut and 6.5 kft for the FS PIC and paper cable, respectively. Hence, the engineering rule for HDSL installation should be carefully treated for the future deployment of ADSL in Taiwan's copper loop plant.

Parallel development of DLC (Digital Loop Carrier) and FITL (Fiber-In-The-Loop) technologies and tbt introduction of SONET (Synchronous Optical NETwork) or SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) in the loo! have led many access system suppliers to develop new multi-functional network elements, which we refer to a Multiple Technologies Access Terminals (MTATs). Such MTATs may have a SONET interface on the feede side (supporting SONET transport to the wire center) and both fiber and copper terminations on the line side (supporting DLC and FITL applications). This is only one example of an MTAT but it is the focus of this paper because it is a real product of several suppliers and the issues associated with its appearance in the marketplace demand immediate attention. While each technology component of an MTAT may conform to the applicable generic requirements or public standards, there are cases where the appropriate requirements for a specific MTK configuration are unclear. The result is that MTAT products may not fully interoperate and may jeopardize Mix-and-match. This paper explores some of the technology specific conflicts, gaps or overlaps in requirements.
DLC (Digital Loop Carrier)和FITL (fiber - in -Loop)技术的并行发展,以及SONET (Synchronous Optical NETwork)或SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy)技术的引入。已经导致许多接入系统供应商开发新的多功能网元,我们称之为多技术接入终端(mats)。这样的mtat可能在馈线侧有一个SONET接口(支持SONET传输到线中心),在线路侧有光纤和铜终端(支持DLC和FITL应用)。这只是MTAT的一个例子,但它是本文的重点,因为它是几个供应商的真实产品,与它在市场上的出现相关的问题需要立即关注。虽然MTAT的每个技术组件可能符合适用的通用需求或公共标准,但在某些情况下,特定MTK配置的适当需求并不明确。其结果是MTAT产品可能无法完全互操作,并可能危及混合匹配。本文探讨了需求中某些特定于技术的冲突、差距或重叠。

Owing to rapid technological advancements and deregulation in the telecommunications industry, Today's end-users have more service options to meet their business requirements. Telecommunication service providers are striving to meet their customers' increasing expectations in terms of service quality and price. To meet these challenges, telecommunications providers must continue to improve their operations environment by making best use of emerging technological advancements for both the network element and network management domains. This paper will describe how telecommunications service providers may optimize their operating environment based on end-customer service needs that provide the highest level of availability and lowest operating cost. In addition, results of several joint planning studies that have involved covering the considerable intelligence available in the emerging network technologies have shown that significant benefits, such as reductions in cycle time (90 percent), improved trouble report rates (60 percent), and expense reduction (50 percent), can be achieved.
