truck roll Referring to the need to dispatch a technician in a truck to install, move, or somehow recon- figure an item of equipment or a wire and cable system, or perhaps to respond to a service call or network outage. Because a truck roll is expensive, service providers tend to prefer networks and network elements that are self-healing or that can be configured and reconfigured remotely. 74570c20.qxd 9/12/07 12:44 AM Page 501 |
