Applied Innovation Inc., provider of network management solutions, has announced the implementation of a network operations center (NOC) for D&E Communications, a regional telephone and data service provider headquartered in Pennsylvania.
The advanced operations center, located in Lancaster County, PA, provides out-of-band visibility and management to elements in D&E Communications' network. As part of the implementation, Applied Innovation designed, installed, and tested a video switching system to display NEweb, AIwatch and other video outputs to four 42-inch display units, plus up to 100 PC monitors in the NOC.
"Applied Innovation's mediation and network management products give D&E Communications a scalable operations network to support future growth and a multi-protocol mediation platform to accommodate the rapid deployment of new elements and service," explains Greg Strunk, vice president of operations at D&E Communications. "Our operating personnel can obtain systems and network information from any access point across the network, reducing operating costs and increasing efficiency."
