Complement to a comprehensive test portfolio, the new ETS-1000 is a
dedicated, handheld Ethernet analyzer, designed to enable fast,
reliable and cost-efficient rollouts QUEBEC CITY, Dec. 9
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering Inc.
(NASDAQ:EXFONASDAQ:TSX:NASDAQ:EXF) announced today the launch of
the ETS-1000 Ethernet Analyzer, which allows easy and reliable
turn-up and installation of carrier-grade Ethernet services over
metro networks. Its focused feature set delivers specific
functionality and ease-of-use required by field technicians to meet
increasingly demanding Ethernet network testing and compliance
measurements, while achieving cost-optimized performance. The
ETS-1000 is one of the most compact and feature-rich 10M to 1GigE
test units, supporting two independent test ports. Technicians can
transmit up to layer-4 traffic, with fully configurable virtual
local area networks (VLAN), multiprotocol label switching (MPLS)
and quality of service (QoS) parameters. The ETS-1000 supports all
of today's necessary Ethernet/IP field testing capabilities
including RFC 2544, bit-error rate, packet jitter as well as
multistream generation and analysis. This entry-level analyzer
underscores EXFO's commitment to providing solutions that meet the
needs of customers across different technologies, from
cost-optimized, dedicated analyzers for fast and simplified turn-up
and installation, to more powerful, integrated Ethernet and
next-generation SONET/SDH assessment tools. Also being introduced
is the ETS-1000L, a dedicated handheld Ethernet loopback device
that supports simple user configuration for full wire-speed
testing, from Layer 1 through 4. Both the ETS-1000 and ETS-1000L
are fully interoperable with all EXFO Ethernet products. "Proper
assessment of carrier-grade Ethernet services is essential to
ensure both quality and performance," said Etienne Gagnon, EXFO's
Vice-President of Product Development and Marketing. "The addition
of the ETS-1000 further enhances our leading Ethernet portfolio,
which provides our customers a broad range of tools to address and
maximize the efficiency of their installation and turn-up testing
processes." For more information on EXFO's complete transport and
