QUEBEC CITY, March 8, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ:
EXFO) (TSX: EXF), the network test, monitoring and analytics
experts, announced that it will join the Ethernet Alliance's
interoperability demonstration taking place at OFC 2018. EXFO will
demonstrate its FlexE capability available on its compact 400G
multiservice testing solution designed for both the lab and
field.
To deliver the latest revenue-generating services reliably, data
centers and communications service providers (CSPs) are constantly
looking for ways to achieve optimal bandwidth flexibility. Gaming,
high-definition video conferencing, 4K video streaming and 5G applications such as
autonomous driving and IoT, all require a better approach to
maximizing data transport. Due to its ability to transport
different Ethernet rates using existing high-speed infrastructures,
FlexE is an important, flexible solution to help carry different
types of traffic as efficiently as possible.
About the interoperability demonstration
The live
environment demonstration will feature a complete 400G Ethernet
client signal embedded in a 4 x 100G FlexE group. This shows EXFO's
ability to test FlexE bounding, sub-rating and channelization as
well as compliancy with the Optical Interworking Forum's (OIF) Flex
Ethernet implementation agreement. Proven interoperability with an
industry-leading transceiver vendor and an FPGA design platform
reflects EXFO's commitment to deliver solutions that network
equipment manufacturers (NEMs), CSPs, data centers and other
innovators need in order to drive and optimize high-speed
networks.
"As the only testing vendor demonstrating FlexE together with
the Ethernet Alliance at OFC, we continue to lead the way in
providing solutions that help build the new 5G landscape," said
Stéphane Chabot, EXFO's Vice President, Test and Measurement.

booth (2648) and visit EXFO's booth (2507) during OFC 2018 from
March 13-15 in San Diego, California.
