MILPITAS, Calif., June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today announced
the industry's most complete test solution to ensure Metro Ethernet quality
of service (QoS) across core and access networks. By integrating a set of
interoperable field test instruments, network probes and management
software, JDSU provides the only single-source solution available to the
market for cost-effectively and reliably installing and maintaining Metro
Ethernet networks. It will be on display June 4-8 at GlobalComm 2006 in
Chicago (JDSU booth 67040 on level 3, Hall A).
The solution is the most complete available because it addresses the
three primary concerns associated with installing and maintaining Metro
Ethernet networks: the ability to rapidly install new connections, the need
to dispatch technicians to fix rather than find problems, and the need for
a reliable method to maintain networks while simultaneously reducing truck
rolls. In addition, the solution offers unmatched ease-of-use and
straightforward repeatability and consistency of testing.
Multiple industry-leading JDSU products, designed specifically for
interoperability to dramatically expand the testing capabilities of the
service provider, comprise JDSU's Metro Ethernet test solution and make it
the most comprehensive in the industry. The products include portable
testers like the MTS/T-BERD 8000 and FST-2802 Ethernet tester, as well as
the NetComplete Metro Ethernet Service Assurance Solution (consisting of
the rack-mountable QT-600 Ethernet IP testhead and centralized NetAnalyst
Test OSS).
"In addition to deployment complexities, managing Metro Ethernet
networks becomes a complicated task because next-generation IP services
such as IPTV and VoIP expose QoS guarantees to greater scrutiny," said
Helmut Berg, senior vice president of JDSU's Test and Measurement group.
"Our Metro Ethernet solution enables communications service providers to
install the service correctly the first time, reduce mean time to repair
and reduce dispatches. The right test equipment can be the difference
between meeting and missing these key deployment metrics."
NetComplete for Metro Ethernet provides continuous QoS and service
availability testing, monitoring and analysis; on-demand and scheduled
testing; service turn-up verification; rapid fault isolation and
troubleshooting; data filtering using extensive triggers and filter
criteria; and multi-interface support (10/100/1000 Mbps via the QT-600).
The MTS/T-BERD 8000 and FST-2802 are portable Ethernet test sets that
offer an extensive range of capabilities, ranging from Layer 1 BERT up to
Layer 3 installation and maintenance, including loopback capabilities that
complement NetComplete for Metro Ethernet. Tests performed during the
installation and commissioning include connectivity, throughput, frame
loss, and round trip delay (latency). Verifying Ethernet services in this
way ensures SLA requirements and, of equal importance, creates a baseline
of performance against which the network can be subsequently measured.
