Telepath Networks, Inc. has received NEBS certification on its Intelligent Provisioning Center, which will automate a previously manual process for telephone companies.
Although much of the telecommunications infrastructure has been automated, providing telecom service, a change in service, or testing of a service still involves a person physically going to the central office to find and manually connect a pair of copper wires. The same procedure is required at the outside plant where a “truck-roll” is needed to turn on or modify service. Telepath Networks now has FOA agreements with several telephone companies for IPC units to be installed to automate this process.
Key to the IPC is the Transparent Embedded Magnetic Switch, a proprietary micro relay developed by Telepath and manufactured using printed circuit board technology.
