• Buying Criteria
  • Density
    • The number of Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) subscriber ports supported per chassis/platform.
  • Network Uplinks/FTTN Capability
    • The type and number of uplink interfaces supported on each chassis. Platforms which support fiber network uplinks (i.e., Gigabit Ethernet interfaces) are ideal for supporting fiber-to-the-node (FTTN) access networks.
  • Video Support
  • 
    
  • POTS Support
    • Support for lifeline/analog Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), in addition to DSL services; generally, remote DSLAMs that support POTS include integrated POTS splitters within the chassis.
  • Price
    • The retail price, in U.S. dollars, of the remote DSLAM chassis/platform (discount or “street” pricing metrics may also be included). Since most – but not all – remote DSLAMs are a fixed-port configuration; per port pricing can be extrapolated.
