DLC - Digital Loop Carrier System / FA1201


The project DLC FA1201 (Fibber Access System) was a project led by NEC Japan and involved also NEC Brasil and INESC. The main goals of the project are the development of control software for a Multiplexing unit / Remote Unit (Digital Loop Carrier System) using SDL tools for specification, design and code generation. The system was designed in accordance with the V.5 specification and in order to cope with different national protocol specifications, with several topologies.

INESC participated on system requirements and specification and was responsible for the F/W development of the Common Control Unit (CCU). The project started in 1994 and terminated in 1999.
