Along with the spread of the Internet society, methods for accessing the Internet have advanced from dialup using existing telephony networks to broadband access using fiber-optics networks. To flexibly provide low-cost and high-speed Internet services to end-users based on their needs, access systems must support various functions, including media processing and user management that match the access method, inter-working of different systems, customizing for individual users, and highly reliable network control. To provide access systems meeting these requirements, Hitachi has been facilitating various technological developments, such as the construction of scalable systems in terms of size and number of features and customization with an open interface.
