JDSU Introduces Metro Ethernet Quality of Service Test Solution
June 01 2006 - 9:30AM
PR Newswire (US)
MILPITAS, Calif., June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today
announced the industry's most complete test solution to ensure
Metro Ethernet quality of service (QoS) across core and access
networks. By integrating a set of interoperable field test
instruments, network probes and management software, JDSU provides
the only single-source solution available to the market for
cost-effectively and reliably installing and maintaining Metro
Ethernet networks. It will be on display June 4-8 at GlobalComm
2006 in Chicago (JDSU booth 67040 on level 3, Hall A). The solution
is the most complete available because it addresses the three
primary concerns associated with installing and maintaining Metro
Ethernet networks: the ability to rapidly install new connections,
the need to dispatch technicians to fix rather than find problems,
and the need for a reliable method to maintain networks while
simultaneously reducing truck rolls. In addition, the solution
offers unmatched ease-of-use and straightforward repeatability and
consistency of testing. Multiple industry-leading JDSU products,
designed specifically for interoperability to dramatically expand
the testing capabilities of the service provider, comprise JDSU's
Metro Ethernet test solution and make it the most comprehensive in
the industry. The products include portable testers like the
MTS/T-BERD 8000 and FST-2802 Ethernet tester, as well as the
NetComplete Metro Ethernet Service Assurance Solution (consisting
of the rack-mountable QT-600 Ethernet IP testhead and centralized
NetAnalyst Test OSS). "In addition to deployment complexities,
managing Metro Ethernet networks becomes a complicated task because
next-generation IP services such as IPTV and VoIP expose QoS
guarantees to greater scrutiny," said Helmut Berg, senior vice
president of JDSU's Test and Measurement group. "Our Metro Ethernet
solution enables communications service providers to install the
service correctly the first time, reduce mean time to repair and
reduce dispatches. The right test equipment can be the difference
between meeting and missing these key deployment metrics."
NetComplete for Metro Ethernet provides continuous QoS and service
availability testing, monitoring and analysis; on-demand and
scheduled testing; service turn-up verification; rapid fault
isolation and troubleshooting; data filtering using extensive
triggers and filter criteria; and multi-interface support
(10/100/1000 Mbps via the QT-600). The MTS/T-BERD 8000 and FST-2802
are portable Ethernet test sets that offer an extensive range of
capabilities, ranging from Layer 1 BERT up to Layer 3 installation
and maintenance, including loopback capabilities that complement
NetComplete for Metro Ethernet. Tests performed during the
installation and commissioning include connectivity, throughput,
frame loss, and round trip delay (latency). Verifying Ethernet
services in this way ensures SLA requirements and, of equal
importance, creates a baseline of performance against which the
network can be subsequently measured. About JDSU JDSU (Nasdaq:
