Att is installing DSC Comms advanced integrated voice/data switching arrays in its new local nodes. These switches are PC sized and are rack mounted inside the 6x6x8 steel node boxes. The racks contain many empty slots. The node box is supported by UPS and has two data cables running into it. One cable is the usual 2" black overhead, and the other is a 1/2" fiber optic cable. The node is structured to handle BB voice and data, which come in from the loop on the 1/2" FOC and exit through the 2" which is then spliced into the CATV system elsewhere. This technique allows Att to make that segment robust and so nodal density is relieved somewhat since the downlink doesn't rely on as much CATV travel distance. On MDUs Att has already wired and rigged for BB:voice. This is done incidentally when a new MDU requests BB:internet. So voice is ready in this area to be offered retail.
