Last week Sprint filed a FCC outage report about a DACS failure during
a software upgrade.
What is up with the DACS vendors. There seems to continuing problems
when telco's upgrade the software on their DACS equipment. Since telcos
have created a design with DACS as a single point of failure, these
outages have a big impact on non-switched services such as data lines.
Has anyone heard what, if anything, the telcos and DACS vendors are doing
to solve these software upgrade problems on their DACS equipment?
