  • Abstract
    Telephone service reliability and availability are examined historically. Availability objectives for fiber-in-the loop (FITL) systems are examined. Network, system, and component considerations are discussed. The problems raised by environmental conditions encountered by FITL systems are described, and the need for adequate reliability testing is discussed.<>
