The FTB-4 Pro offers the industry's smallest form factor
and delivers unprecedented power, flexibility and scalability for
tests in high speed networks, data centers and R&D
labs.
QUEBEC CITY, March 20, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - EXFO Inc.
(NASDAQ: EXFO) (TSX: EXF), the global network test, data and
analytics experts, today announced the launch of the FTB-4 Pro
platform, the industry's smallest platform for testing high speed
and optical networks. The deployment of 100G in key markets calls
for comprehensive test solutions which are specifically designed to
thoroughly test 100G links effectively and efficiently.
The FTB-4 Pro is the latest addition to EXFO's test
orchestration portfolio which transforms business as usual into
smarter, scalable network testing that significantly increases
operational efficiency and provides vital insights into field
operations, network performance and service delivery.
The 4 slot modular FTB-4 Pro platform enables a unique
combination for 100G commissioning, turn-up and troubleshooting
which includes the FTBx-88200NGE 100G Multiservice tester (with
iOptics transceiver validation software) and the FTB-5240S-P
optical spectrum analyzer. There is no need to carry additional
platforms or swap modules for unmatched transport and spectral
testing on a single platform that no one in the industry can
offer.
The versatile FTB-4 Pro platform supports a wide range of
modules for field testing, data center interconnect, submarine
testing, and lab applications for maximum flexibility and ROI
across all phases of the service delivery chain: development,
deployment, maintenance and troubleshooting. Module combinations on
the FTB-4 Pro can also include iOLM/OTDRs, market leading OLTS for
fiber characterization, dispersion solutions and other transport
modules all with compatibility with EXFO's market leading fiber
inspection probes.
"Today's high speed networks require testing solutions that are
powerful enough to handle the massive rollout of high speed links,"
said Stephane Chabot, EXFO's
Vice-President, Test and Measurement. "The FTB-4 Pro delivers the
processing power of a high-end platform in the industry's smallest
form factor for 100G commissioning, turn-up and troubleshooting.
Its ability to support a wide range of modules makes it our most
versatile platform. With the FTB-4 Pro, technicians are equipped to
get the job done faster, easier and more efficiently."
The platform boasts a 10-inch high-resolution widescreen display
and operates on the latest Microsoft Windows 10 OS with a QUAD core
processor.
The FTB-4 is also ready to support 400G testing.
