Integrated access platform
View Patent ↗An integrated access platform includes a first port configured to receive a first signal from a plain old telephone service (POTS) and a second port configured to receive a second signal from an asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL). The integrated access platform also includes a controller system configured to process the first signal and the second signal for access with external networks.
1. An integrated access platform comprising:
a first port configured to receive a first signal from a plain old telephone service (POTS);
a second port configured to receive a second signal from an asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL); and
a controller system coupled to both a narrowband bus for transmitting information from the first port and a broadband bus for transmitting information from the second port, the controller system configured to process the first signal and the second signal for accessing external networks said platform further comprising a ring and battery (RBT) system connected to the first port through a talk battery connection and a ring bus, RBT system including redundant cards.
2. The platform of claim 1 , further comprising:
an alarm display and test (ADT) system connecting to the second port and the first port.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
redundant maintenance buses configured to connect to the controller system, the RBT system, the ADT system, the first port and the second port.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
an inventory bus configured to connect to the controller system, the RBT system, the ADT system, the first port and the second port.
5. An integrated access platform comprising:
a first port configured to receive a first signal from a plain old telephone service (POTS);
a second port configured to receive a second signal from an asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL);
a controller system configured to receive the first signal over a narrowband bus, to receive the second signal over a broadband bus and to process the first signal and the second signal for accessing external networks; and
a ring and battery (RBT) system connected to the first port through a talk battery connection and a ring bus, RBT system including redundant cards.
6. The platform of claim 5 , further comprising:
an alarm display and test (ADT) system connecting to the second port and the first port.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
redundant maintenance buses configured to connect to the controller system, the RBT system, the ADT system, the first port and the second port.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
an inventory bus configured to connect to the controller system, the RBT system, the ADT system, the first port and the second port.
