JDSU Adds Industry's First 10 GigE Dual Test Features to Widely Adopted T-BERD(R)/MTS-8000 Platform

PR Newswire (US)
MILPITAS, Calif., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today
introduced the Dual Module Carrier (DMC) for the T-BERD®/MTS-8000
platform, the industry's only portable test solution offering
concurrent capture/decode and TCP WireSpeed testing on two 10 GigE
ports. A complete 10M to 10 GigE, DS1/E1 to OC-192/STM-64, OTN,
PDH, Next Generation SONET/SDH and Fibre Channel test solution, the
T-BERD/MTS-8000 DMC is capable of simultaneous troubleshooting both
sides of a circuit - using one tester - saving both time and money,
and achieving operation efficiencies. In the typical CO and Tier
2/3 troubleshooting environment, two testers have traditionally
been needed to troubleshoot both ends of a local circuit to
determine that the network segment is properly passing traffic.
Now, using a single T-BERD/MTS-8000 DMC, technicians can easily
determine and troubleshoot traffic problems from both directions
using a single test solution, translating to significant time and
cost savings. "With 10G Ethernet services fueling Carrier Ethernet
growth, carriers must guard against degraded networks, and doing so
usually involves time-consuming and costly test processes," said
Jim Nerschook, vice president and general manager in JDSU's
Communications Test and Measurement business segment. "With the
T-BERD/MTS-8000 DMC, JDSU offers the only portable solution for
dual-port 10 GigE test, and innovative new features to help address
network challenges in an efficient, cost-effective and time-saving
manner, demonstrating once again JDSU's commitment to helping
customers deploy reliable and Carrier Ethernet networks." In
addition to being the only test solution that supports dual port
packet capture/decode, the T-BERD/MTS-8000 DMC is the only test
solution that supports dual-port 10G TCP WireSpeed testing. Unlike
other test sets that lack the port density, the T-BERD/MTS-8000 DMC
supports up to eight concurrent DSx/PDH tests for rapid equipment
provisioning. Other key performance features offered by the DMC
include the ability to run four concurrent tests, creating other
operational efficiencies. Technicians can share a test set for
installation and troubleshooting in a central office and MSPP
installation can be expedited by verifying multiple ports
concurrently. In addition to the JDSU ONT-503, the DMC also offers
service provider labs the port density needed for long-term
equipment "soak" testing across multiple interfaces with the
portability needed to take soak testing to the field. The
T-BERD/MTS-8000 is a next-generation, modular, and cost-effective
platform solution, featuring an innovative design that combines
traditional SONET/SDH testing and Ethernet/IP testing-all in a
single test module. The T-BERD/MTS-8000 platform provides physical
layer test modules, including optical time domain reflectometer
(OTDR), polarization mode dispersion (PMD), and chromatic
dispersion (CD) and service layer test modules, such as 10 GigE,
40G and SDH/SONET, to test various fiber (FTTx), coarse wave
division multiplexing (CWDM), and dense wavelength division
multiplexing (DWDM) networks. JDSU offers a single-source Carrier
Ethernet test portfolio that facilitates analysis of all seven
layers of next-generation IP networks. The JDSU portfolio provides
the industry's deepest set of test features in an integrated,
end-to-end approach to testing Carrier Ethernet products and
services, including lab and service verification, development and
production, installation and maintenance, troubleshooting and
overall service assurance. The portfolio offers service providers
and NEMs the confidence to successfully build, deploy, and manage
Carrier Ethernet and Business Class solutions. About JDSU JDSU
