Values and Benefits for using the Nortel DMS-250 Long Distance Switch
Rocketman, thanks again for posting on the info thread.
And last but not least the Value & Benefits of using the Nortel DMS-250 switch. I am looking for a picture of the switch. I have been to a lot of other long distance switch centers and they have also implemented this switch.
Accelerated Delivery of New Features
With a redesigned, modular software architecture, it is easier than ever to create new capabilities and
enhance existing ones.
Easy Growth to Match Market Needs
The modular, scalable system architecture of the DMS-250 system allows network providers to add processing capacity, memory
capacity, trunk capacity, and services as they are needed. For example, a DMS-250 system can easily grow from a relatively small
configuration to 100,000 ports though incremental additions. Enhanced processors, additonal switching matrices, peripherals, and
trunk cards can be added without redesigning the system or interrupting service.
Protected Investment
DMS family switching systems - from local to international systems - all operate on a common hardware base platform. That
means that the carrier's investment is protected even as the business takes new directions and the network changes. It also means
uncommon flexibility. For example, add software to a DMS-250 system and you have a DMS-250/300 system, capable of handling
domestic and international long distance services. Or with the addition of software and certain DMS-100 hardware elements, a
DMS-250 switch becomes a DMS-500 switch-capable of providing local and long distance service from a single platform.
Compatibility in the Multi-Vendor Network
With an open architecture that embraces industry standards, the DMS-250 system functions effectively in today's multi-vendor
network. The system is fully compatible with industry-standard telecommunications protocols, including Common Channel
Signaling System No. 7 (CCS7), Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and Bellcore's Advanced Intelligent Networking
(AIN).
Industry-Leading Reliability
The DMS-250 system offers the robust performance expected of public carrier systems. Crucial system components, such as the
core processing module, are duplicated - "hot" standby units are ready to automatically take over operations if necessary. With a
solid record of performance worldwide, the DMS-250 system has earned recognition from industry journals for superior hardware
and software quality and is known as "best in class" in terms of hardware- or software-related outages.
