single line multi-service (access area) (SLMS)

Single Line Multi-Service (SLMS) is a network architecture for integrating different services on an unbundled copper access line.

It integrates the necessary functions of individual components such as voice gateway, digital subscriber line access multiplexer( DSLAM), edgerouter( ER), etc. in a single device. An SLMS network enables the deployment of the latest broadband access technologies over xDSL and fixed network and realizes the last mile over a single line.

SLMS is an infrastructure architecture for emerging packet-based public networks. It is configured via management systems and can provide the required quality of service for real-time transmissionsand burst traffic. In addition, the SLMS network must separate the traffic flows of individual subscribers so that subscriber-specific services can be activated.
