High-performance Ethernet/IP test tool tailored for central office
applications delivers simplified single-point service validation
and seamlessly integrates into existing test environments QUEBEC
CITY, May 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EXFO Electro-Optical
Engineering Inc. (NASDAQ:EXFONASDAQ:TSX:NASDAQ:EXF) announced today
the launch of the RTU-310 (1 Gbit/s) and RTU-310G (10 Gbit/s) IP
Service Test Heads to address the growing demand for centralized
IP/Ethernet testing solutions in mobile switch centers (MSC). The
RTU-310x series seamlessly interoperates with EXFO's entire
portfolio of portable Ethernet field testers and the BrixNGN
network monitoring solution for cost-efficient and comprehensive
end-to-end testing, turn-up and troubleshooting of Ethernet
services. Ethernet is rapidly becoming the predominant method for
deploying new commercial services and for the expansion of backhaul
capacity. Carriers are increasingly demanding central office-based
testing solutions that combine with field portable test equipment
to provide end-to-end granular visibility of Ethernet performance
in order to guarantee and reinforce service-level agreements and
improve problem resolution. The RTU-310x test heads leverage the
extensive, field-proven performance assurance testing capabilities
of the portable FTB-8510B and FTB-8510G Packet Blazer Ethernet
field testers. The RTU-310x series is a carrier-class, rackmount
solution that facilitates the integration of end-to-end,
bidirectional Ethernet testing, including RFC 2544, and advanced
wire-speed traffic analysis into the demanding central office
environment, enabling carriers to increase technician autonomy and
productivity with solo control of remote and local test devices for
streamlined, efficient end-to-end testing. Extending network
visibility even further, the RTU-310x series can optionally be
integrated into the BrixNGN Carrier Ethernet network monitoring
solutions, allowing service providers to continuously collect,
correlate, analyze and visualize strategic QoS and QoE data from
the network core to the customer endpoint at full line rate testing
speeds. This critical data enables accurate capacity planning and
service turn-up verification, as well as the rapid identification,
diagnosis and resolution of network and service issues before
customers are affected-thereby guaranteeing performance and
quality. "The launch of the RTU-310x test head series demonstrates
EXFO's continued innovation in Ethernet test solutions, reinforcing
our commitment to offering our customers expanded test capabilities
aligned with shifts in deployment trends", said Etienne Gagnon,
EXFO's Vice-President of Product Management and Marketing. "The
seamless integration of the RTU series with our extensive Ethernet
field testing portfolio and our BrixNGN network monitoring suite
protects our customers' investments in testing equipment while
providing an easy upgrade path to advanced testing scenarios
in-line with their expansion strategies." For further information
