ONT Test Platform Named 2006 IEC InfoVision Award Finalist
MILPITAS, Calif. and PARIS, Oct. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU
(Nasdaq: JDSU; and TSX: JDU) today announced a new 10 Gigabit
Ethernet (GigE) module for its ONT-506 and ONT-512 product lines
designed to help labs and manufacturers verify GigE network element
reliability, interoperability and quality of service (QoS). The new
module will be on display this week at Broadband World Forum Europe
2006 in Paris, France, booth 7002, where the ONT platform is also
an IEC InfoVision Award finalist for 2006 in the Network Core
Innovation and Advances category. The ONT-506/512 10 GigE module is
part of JDSU's industry-leading Metro Ethernet test portfolio,
which includes the most comprehensive range of Ethernet
instruments, systems and software required by manufacturers, labs
and operators to successfully develop and deliver next-generation
broadband services. With the addition of the 10 GigE module, the
ONT-506/512 supports the test needs of manufacturers and labs
worldwide by offering Ethernet modules for complete testing across
all major interfaces in the 10 Gigabit-per-second range (including
10 GigE LAN, 10G SONET/SDH, 10.7G OTN and 10G Ethernet-over-
SONET/SDH, or EoS). Later this year, JDSU will offer a software
upgrade for the 10 GigE module that provides 10 GigE WAN test
features. "The emergence of triple play services, especially IPTV,
is pushing manufacturers and labs to provide reliable Metro
Ethernet products to market and ensure QoS," said Bernhard Mueller,
general manager of JDSU's optical transport Communications Test and
Measurement group. "JDSU's ONT platform eliminates the need for
multiple test platforms for research and development in the
manufacturer labs and service verification testing in the operator
labs, further reducing the time spent verifying new
revenue-generating network systems and services like 10 GigE."
Technical features of the new ONT-506/512 10 GigE module include
LAN testing at 850, 1310 and 1550nm, Layer 1 and 2 support; traffic
generation, filtering and analysis; and advanced automation
features (SCPI, C-library). About the JDSU ONT-506/512 Optical
Network Tester The ONT platform is a multi-functional, multi-port
and multi-user solution for fast and flexible testing of optical
network environments. The ONT is designed to address the optical
and digital testing needs in R&D, SVT and troubleshooting. JDSU
offers a choice of ONT platforms covering rack- mountable and
portable mainframes, and a range of plug-in instrument modules for
SONET/SDH, DSn/PDH, new SONET/SDH, OTN, EoS, Ethernet and DWDM,
controlled via an intuitive user interface. Designed to keep pace
with the high-speed evolution of today's communications technology,
the ONT is the essential test tool for manufacturers, early
technology installers, operator's verification lab and tier-3
support of optical networks. EoS and 40/43G test functionality are
the newest additions to the ONT testers and include high-accuracy
Jitter test capabilities. About JDSU JDSU is committed to enabling
