Abstract :
This paper outlines the contribution that powering makes to the plain old telephone service (POTS) availability on an integrated hybrid/fibre coax (IHFC) customer access network. POTS reliability is recognised as a highly important performance metric by Telstra. Thus, new technologies such as those of the IHFC architectures will need to exhibit an availability performance that maintains the public´s confidence and perception of POTS as a lifeline service
