Spirent Communications(TM) Wins Major Contract for Next Generation
IP and ATM Diagnostics LAS VEGAS, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
USTA -- Spirent Communications (NYSE:SPM) (LONDON: SPT) announced
today it has been selected by a leading North American service
provider to provide its latest solution for next-generation IP and
ATM test and diagnostics. Spirent's SmartSight(TM) Broadband Remote
Test Unit (BRTU) and associated REACT software modules will be
deployed throughout the service provider's ATM network. The
three-year, multi-million dollar agreement marks the first major
deployment of Spirent's newest solution for broadband and further
validates Spirent's leading role in service assurance for
next-generation IP technologies. SmartSight's ability to scale was
a major factor in its selection. First stages of deployment are
expected to begin by the end of the year. SmartSight BRTU is a new
network appliance designed to interface with next-generation ADMs
and MSPPs. The device enables testing, provisioning, and
maintenance of services from the metro edge and includes a full
suite of tests from DS1, DS3, OC-3 and OC-12 signals and IP, VoIP,
ATM and Frame Relay services. Customers benefit from increased
efficiency of the troubleshooting process and reduced need for
technicians to become experts in all protocols and technologies
across all seven layers of the OSI model. The SmartSight BRTU
architecture is extensible to new hardware modules for higher-speed
interfaces such as OC-48, OC-192, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and
provides flexibility in allowing support for new technology
standards via software upgrades. REACT is the most advanced system
for interactive and automated testing of a wide variety of network
services. From analog private lines to high- capacity digital and
broadband services, to digital subscriber line and fast- packet
services (Ethernet, ATM, IP), REACT provides powerful capabilities
for monitoring, testing, and workflow management in a package that
is full- featured, well-integrated, and easy-to-use. In addition to
efficient management of test resources, the circuit database and
interactive and automated testing sessions are also provided. REACT
user interfaces combine powerful features for the experienced
technician with ease of use for the novice technician. This
unbeatable combination is also extraordinarily scalable, letting
customers carry out fast, accurate IP service diagnostics across
networks at every carrier scale using fundamentally the same test
operations. About Spirent Communications Spirent Communications
