PR Newswire (US)
MILPITAS, Calif., June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today
introduced new features to its widely adopted T-BERD(R)/MTS-6000A
platform, making it the first portable test instrument to include
line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GigE) capture and decode,
dual-GigE port packet capture and decode, and packet capture and
decode of emulated application layer traffic (TCP, FTP, and HTTP).
JDSU's new 10 GigE capture and decode capabilities reduce the
complexity and costs of managing Carrier Ethernet networks. From
hundreds of potential impairment events, these capabilities enable
network architects, engineers and technicians to quickly identify
and resolve the source of service quality issues across multiple
network layers, from the premise to the metro network core. "With
packet technologies, the common test approach is to first perform
simple packet testing because higher-layer application testing is
significantly more complex," said Jim Nerschook, vice president and
general manager in JDSU's Communications Test and Measurement
business segment. "JDSU's new capture and decode features for the
T-BERD/MTS-6000A simplify previously complex tests and
troubleshooting processes, making it easier for technicians to
understand and share test results associated with these advanced
applications. These industry-first innovations are the latest
demonstration of JDSU's commitment to building customer confidence
in the reliable, cost-effective deployment of Carrier Ethernet
networks." The JDSU T-BERD/MTS-6000A is a compact and lightweight
test platform designed for all phases of fiber and transport
network installation and maintenance. Modular in design, the
T-BERD/MTS-6000A offers an extensive portfolio of test
functionality for multiple network layers and the Multi-Services
Application module provides an integrated solution for Ethernet,
SONET/SDH, and higher-layer tests. Optical Modules allow thorough
testing of short-haul, long-haul, FTTx, CWDM, and high speed 40G
networks. JDSU offers a single-source Carrier Ethernet test
portfolio that facilitates analysis of all seven layers of Metro
Ethernet services. The JDSU portfolio provides the industry's
deepest set of test features in an integrated, end-to-end approach
