QUEBEC CITY, March 31, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ:
EXFO; TSX: EXF) today announced that it has entered into a reseller
agreement with Teletech, an Australian telecom test equipment
manufacturer, for the TS125 Remote Far End Device. This
reseller agreement paves the way towards a complete solution
for all operators and contractors with existing methods and
procedures in place, where the use of a Far End Device
(FED) complements their copper pair quality testing.
Coupled with the EXFO MaxTester 600 series (in particular the
MaxTester 610 and MaxTester 635), the use of the FED drastically
reduces the numbers of truck rolls needed to change the
state of the far end of the circuit when performing
measurements to assess the copper circuit quality. The EXFO
MaxTester 600 remotely controls the FED, instructing it to place
short, open or any other terminations at the far end of the copper
pair circuit in order to properly conduct measurements.
"Teletech is pleased to work with EXFO. Their
next-generation test instruments using SmartR features are ideal
for Teletech's Far End Device," said Malcom
Basell, CEO, Teletech Pty. Ltd. "The Teletech TS125 Remote
FED perfectly complements EXFO's MaxTester 600 series and extends
the range of copper pair quality tests by removing the need for
repeated travels to the far end of the line. When completing
tests, the MaxTester automatically controls the TS125 to ensure the
line is always terminated correctly."
"By leveraging Teletech's reliable expertise with Far End
Devices, EXFO is now poised at a vantage point in the industry to
provide a fully comprehensive solution for copper pair quality
testing," indicated Étienne Gagnon, Vice-President, Physical-Layer
and Wireless Division. "The TS125 FED complements our MaxTester 600
series to deliver OPEX savings for operators by reducing test times
and truck rolls."
