Today's carriers need to maintain customer loyalty through improved service, and competitive service pricing. The equipment deployed to bring service to customer premises must also extend those customer service benefits, while keeping operational costs to a minimum. Newbridge offers a family of network termination units (NTUs) which are an integral part of the managed bandwidth solution. The NTUs are remotely software configurable, field proven and offer advanced xDSL capabilities to extract the maximum performance from installed copper facilities. The NTU family can also be put to use in building riser, in-building, or campus environments where data needs to be distributed away from the central service delivery point.
