Since 1971, Bell Telephone Laboratories has focused considerable attention on Repair Service Bureau (RSB) operations.
In this issue, individuals from the disciplines of software, hardware, and systems engineering relate the design and development of A R S B systems from their perspectives.
The Mechanized Loop Testing (MLT) system is a major functional unit of the Automated Repair Service Bureau (ARSB) which automatically tests and analyzes the condition of customer loops.
The testing of a subscriber loop is presently undergoing a fundamental and dramatic improvement because of the introduction of the Mechanized Loop Testing (MLT) system.
