JDSU Expands T-BERD(R)/MTS Platform, Industry's Smallest and Most Complete Solution for Testing Ethernet Over SONET/SDH (EoS) up
July 20 2009 - 8:30AM
PR Newswire (US)
MILPITAS, Calif., July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today
introduced new features to its widely adopted T-BERD /MTS-6000A
platform that make it the industry's smallest and most complete
all-in-one solution for testing Ethernet over SONET/SDH - using one
module and one graphical user interface (GUI) for all interfaces up
to 10G, which is essential for rapidly troubleshooting problems in
the field. The new features have led to multiple carrier product
approvals for the T-BERD /MTS-6000A. The T-BERD /MTS-6000A GUI
guides users directly to the network layer that is causing trouble
without the need for them to be an expert in every layer. This
enables network architects, engineers and technicians to quickly
identify and resolve the source of network quality issues. "As
Ethernet services become more prominent, carriers are presented
with the challenge to offer them in an economic manner reusing
their existing SONET/SDH infrastructure," said Jim Nerschook, vice
president and general manager in JDSU's Communications Test and
Measurement business segment. "The new features on the
T-BERD/MTS-6000A help address this challenge and at the same time
reduce the complexity and costs of managing Carrier Ethernet
networks. These innovations further demonstrate JDSU's commitment
to building customer confidence by helping them deploy reliable and
cost-effective Carrier Ethernet networks." The T-BERD/MTS-6000A
offers standard SONET/SDH test capabilities (including overhead
analysis, round-trip-delay testing, and service disruption testing
with multiple different triggers). It also provides the flexibility
to set up and analyze Virtual Concatenation (VCAT) structures as
well as verify the correct transformation of asynchronous Ethernet
frames into synchronous SONET/SDH containers using GFP
encapsulation. Within the same module and GUI, the T-BERD/MTS-6000A
performs Ethernet/IP tests such as traffic generation and analysis,
delay measurements, packet jitter analysis, and ICMP pings. Alarm,
error insertion and analysis capabilities at all layers stress test
the network and verify correct reporting in network management. 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. The Multi-Services Application Module provides an
integrated solution for testing multiple technologies including
Ethernet, PDH, SONET/SDH, Optical transport Network (OTN), Fibre
Channel and now EoS. Optical Modules allow thorough testing of
short-haul, long-haul, FTTx, CWDM, and high speed transport
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
to testing Metro Ethernet products and services, including lab and
service verification, development and production, installation and
maintenance, troubleshooting and overall service assurance. The
portfolio offer NEMs and service providers worldwide the confidence
to successfully build, deploy, and manage Ethernet and Business
Class solutions. About JDSU JDSU (Nasdaq: JDSU; and TSX: JDU)
enables broadband and optical innovation in the communications,
commercial and consumer markets. JDSU is the leading provider of
