EXFO’s latest whitepaper, entitled “Challenges of Power Measurement During 100G Ethernet Service Turn-up,” describes how traditional turn-up activity differs from today’s approaches, 100G service deployment challenges, and how an intuitive OSA—which is typically not used in Ethernet turn-up activities—can actually become an essential and cost-effective toolkit for field engineers.

When it comes to deploying high-speed 40 Gbit/s or 100 Gbit/s technologies, today’s operators must choose which type of architecture will support the new wavelengths. Will they opt for a “brownfield” deployment, which uses an existing network, or a “greenfield” deployment, which employs new or unused fibers?

The Domain Name System (DNS) is the distributed naming system best known for translating easily recognized domain names into numeric IP addresses, enabling servers and other computing and networking resources to look up and associate with one another.
