Extended multi-stage ODUmuxing and SONET/SDH client
mappings now available on the FTB/IQS-85100G Packet Blazer
series
QUEBEC CITY, Nov. 11, 2014
/PRNewswire/ - EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO, TSX: EXF) today announced
the extension of its FTB/IQS-85100G Packet Blazer Series, now
offering multi-stage ODU multiplexing as well as SONET/SDH client
mappings over OTU4.
In today's competitive market, the pressure to speed up testing
and streamline network operations is constantly increasing. To
address this, EXFO enhances its 40G/100G lab testing capabilities
on the FTB/IQS-85100G by adding multistage multiplexing schemes up
to OTU4, which is an essential function needed by the network
equipment manufacturers (NEMS) when testing inter-carrier handoff
in between the network element muxponder cards. In addition, the
FTB/IQS-85100G now delivers SONET/SDH client mapping into OTN
containers. Since SONET/SDH is used for its efficiency and
granularity for low rates signals on the core and backbone network,
this new feature allows faster validation of the lower speed
Ethernet-based client interface.
"EXFO has been a leading provider of high-speed multiservice
testing solutions and continues to be committed to providing the
best 100G test solutions for our lab customers," said Claudio Mazzuca, Vice-President of EXFO's
Transport and Service Assurance Division. "Because our customers
are under pressure to deliver their services faster and more
reliably, we are more determined than ever to provide our customers
with value-added test solutions to help them meet these
challenges."
Furthermore, EXFO continues to extend its leadership position
with the FTB/IQS-88100NGE, the only 10M to 100G test module on the
market, by now adding Fibre Channel test capabilities from 1X to
10X. In addition, Fibre Channel 16X is now available on the
recently introduced FTB/IQS-8830NGE module.
