EXFO extends OTN testing capabilities

30 March 2011 Test & Measurement

EXFO announced the addition of 100G/40G Ethernet mapping over optical transport network (EoOTN) testing capabilities to its FTB/IQS-85100G Packet Blazer 100G/40G Ethernet test modules. The newly launched capabilities include mapping 100G Ethernet services into OTU4 (111,81 Gbps) and transcoded 40G Ethernet services into OTU3 (43,018 Gbps) using generic mapping procedure (GMP) as per ITU-T G.709. The added functionalities are available through a software option for existing 85100G Packet Blazer modules-housed in EXFO’s FTB-500 Platform and IQS-600 Integrated Qualification System.

In today’s competitive market, carriers and network operators strive to deliver the bandwidth required for residential, mobile and enterprise services – a challenge they must meet while reducing costs and improving efficiency. To achieve this increased link capacity, they have chosen to upgrade to 100G Ethernet and transport the services across optical transport networks, which represent a balanced solution for simplified network operations and reduced capital and operational expenses.

EXFO’s newly introduced Ethernet-over-OTN testing capability ensures that all newly deployed 100G and 40G networks are proven capable of handling any of the demanding services that may be placed on them in the future. Qualifying 100G/40G Ethernet IP traffic transmission at 100% throughput over OTN, measuring round-trip delay (RTD) across the optical path and latency at the service level as well as ensuring transparent recovery of the client signal at the receiver end are some of EXFO’s 85100G testing capabilities.
