functions, as they are required. FAST allows an operator to order a modem precisely
tailored for the initial application, reducing risk and cost overruns during the application
integration process.
7.3 Implementation
FAST is factory-implemented in the modem at the time of order. Hardware options for
basic modems can be ordered and installed either at the factory or in the field. The
operator can select options that can be activated easily in the field, depending on the
current hardware configuration of the modem.
