Powerful testing capabilities for optical networks
Exfo has enhanced its OTDR software suite to add very powerful testing capabilities that reduce training time by making testing simpler and faster than ever.
Advanced test capabilities, such as packet-jitter, traffic generation and analysis, and RFC 2544 (a well-established testing methodology that includes throughput, latency and frame-loss measurements), are ideally suited for Ethernet-based or Internet Protocol devices and networks.
The IQS-8510G Packet Blazer, housed inside EXFO's widely deployed and rack-mounted IQS-500 Intelligent Test System, is designed for manufacturing environments, system verification, central offices and carrier lab applications.
This new test solution will be displayed at booth 302-303 during ECOC 2005, extending from September 26-28, at the Scottish Exhibition Conference Centre in Glasgow, Scotland.
