Premisys Communications takes the basic concept for its integrated access solutions and applied it to network management, the AccessDirector Element Management System. The AccessDirector EMS combines all of Premisys’ broadband and narrowband lines of integrated access solutions onto a single easy-to-use, graphical user interface-based system. AccessDirector EMS will allow monitoring, configuring and testing of all elements of even the most complex distributed integrated access networks where a wide range of voice and data traffic is consolidated at several levels in the "last mile" of a telecommunications network. A complete managed access network - giving the service provider the ability to offer customers the assurance that their network is being managed- and significant savings in time to market, resources and maintenance.
