QUEBEC CITY,
July 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - EXFO
Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO) (TSX: EXF) announced today a major market
milestone as it has sold over 25,000 units of its FTB-200 Compact
Platform to over a thousand customers from all around the world, a
testament to the ever-present need for high-end testing modules in
small, portable formats.
Leveraging years of experience in field testing,
EXFO introduced the FTB-200 Compact Platform several years ago as a
means to help customers who needed to combine high-end technology
into something more versatile that could easily be carried into
metro and mesh networks by supertechnicians. EXFO was the first to
bring a multilayer, multimedium approach to a truly portable
format.
"Today, the FTB-200 Compact Platform continues
to deliver the best performance on the market for optical,
Ethernet, SONET/SDH and multiservice testing," said Stéphane
Chabot, Director of EXFO's Optical Business Unit. "Thanks to its
multiple functionalities, we allow our customers to increase their
asset utilization and ROI, while reducing their overall costs."
The FTB-200 Compact Platform is part of EXFO's
FTB Ecosystem, an innovative testing environment that combines a
comprehensive range of connected testing platforms and
productivity-boosting cloud-based software applications to help
network operators accelerate network deployments and reduce
operating expenses.
