QUEBEC CITY, June 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ:
EXFO) (TSX: EXF) announced today the release of its advanced
Multichannel OTN testing at 100G to support network equipment
manufacturers (NEMs) who are developing high-speed OTN packet
transport solutions. The new, advanced Multichannel OTN capability,
which helps NEMs speed up testing and development of OTN switches,
is available on the FTB/IQS-85100G and FTBx-88200NGE. These
solutions are the only testers on the market delivering
Multichannel OTN capable of validating up to 80 channels
simultaneously.
With NEMs facing increased demand for high-speed OTN switches
(from traditional carriers and for data-center applications),
reducing development cycles is critical to bringing new solutions
to market faster. The new Multichannel OTN capability available on
EXFO's 100G test solutions empowers NEMs to be more efficient and
agile in their development.
EXFO is also introducing 100 GigE Through mode on the newly
launched FTBx‑88200NGE. This troubleshooting tool is designed to
minimize downtime for 100G circuits in the field and lab testing. A
unique in-line bidirectional monitoring tool, 100 GigE Through mode
eliminates the need for an external tapping module, switch mirror
port or any other traffic redirection scheme, and is the only
solution on the market with this capability.
As a leading provider of multiservice and multirate testing
solutions, EXFO has been particularly focused on addressing the
needs of communication service providers (CSPs) and system
manufacturers over the past few years. "In line with today's market
transition to high-speed volume deployment, we are constantly
working to align our high-speed offering with service providers'
requirements," said Claudio Mazzuca,
Vice-President of EXFO's Transport and Service Assurance Division.
"We are committed to offering powerful yet simple test coverage to
meet high-speed technology advances, market requirements and
field-testing needs."
