Game changer for ADSL technology

Port Elizabeth, South Africa (MMD Newswire) February 10, 2015 — iSAT is extremely proud to announce the release of its ADSL line monitoring and management system (ALMMS).

In South Africa, Telkom is the incumbent Telco that controls the ADSL network infrastructure.

As with ADSL technology internationally, service on the Telkom ADSL network is delivered as best effort only. And the ADSL line on the Telkom network is the foundation of the ADSL experience.

ALMMS is a game changing technology which goes a long way in helping to improve the ADSL line network for ADSL users. Using specially developed systems integrated with those of Telkom’s, only possible because of iSAT’s status as a trusted wholesale partner (since 1998), ALMMS collects raw data from the ADSL line network.

The data is then constantly analysed and results interpreted. Alerts are immediately emailed to customers and the iSAT support desk for various anomalies, including:

- Slow speed problems that should not be happening based on the properties of the line,

- General instability on the ADSL line,

- Clients paying for higher speed ADSL lines, in areas where those line speeds are not currently technically possible, and it is more cost effective to subscribe to a lower speed service,

- Changes in the local infrastructure, enabling the user to upgrade to a faster ADSL line,

- Billing discrepancies between what is being paid for, and what is being delivered,

- And much more…..

Any alert needing action from Telkom is logged on their support system by the iSAT support team. Customers are notified of the Telkom fault number. Telkom issues are fixed faster because of the detailed technical information that is supplied by iSAT.

As ALMMS accumulates data from more users and over longer time frames, it intelligently and automatically recalculates tolerance limits and improves its accuracy, and what it expects of the network.

On an administration level, functionality includes a dashboard interface and reporting showing various statistics at a national, provincial, town/city and suburb level.

With more than two years in development, this is a ground breaking technology that will change ADSL access throughout South Africa.

Enquiries from potential international partners are welcome.
