Mission Statement

In addition to providing our customers a quality environment for testing, evaluating, and marketing of 5ESS®-2000 Switch and related Lucent Technologies products, the FIVE also exists to identify problems and champion their resolution to improve Lucent Technologies' products.

The FIVE Facility opened in March 1988, and functions as a live central office. The FIVE Facility is open to customers for hands-on access to test the performance of the 5ESS®-2000 Switch as it interacts with everything from ISDN and Centrex services to customer premises equipment in a network environment. At the FIVE Facility, you can test, verify, evaluate and demonstrate a host of network capabilities with the latest 5ESS®-2000 Switch hardware and software.
