JDSU introduces “industry’s smallest” 10 GigE field tester with advanced IPTV and Triple-Play service test features
(Technology News, 29 May 2008 )
JDSU has announced the latest generation of its MTS optical tester line, the MTS-6000A Multi-Services Application Module, the industry’s most compact 10 GigE multi-function tester for the installation and maintenance of Carrier Ethernet and IP services.
Testing high-bandwidth services like IPTV has become a requirement beyond the access network because of the convergence of cost-effective Carrier Ethernet networks and high-bandwidth triple-play services. This convergence is complicated by the development and deployment of a number of new Ethernet technologies such as Provider Backbone Bridge Transport (PBT), requiring significant qualification during the design and deployment phase to ensure QoS of business and residential triple-play services.
With field applications for servicing Metro Core telecom networks, wireless/cable switch centers and backhaul networks, government telecommunications and network equipment manufacturer field installation and support groups, the Multi-Services Application Module is the latest innovation for the award-winning, industry-leading MTS family of test solutions. The MTS product line has built a solid worldwide reputation based on cutting-edge design and performance. Compatibility with thousands of field-proven units deployed worldwide by every major telecommunications network operator enables easy migration to new network technologies while continuing to reduce expenses.
Technical features of the Multi-Services Application Module includes the combination in one product a high degree of test power including 10 GigE, IP Video, TCP/UDP, FTP test and support for Ethernet and SONET/SDH up to 10GigE/10G on the same physical port. A powerful user interface helps the technician quickly set up and evaluate tests as well as troubleshoot problems, reducing operational expense.
