MILPITAS, Calif. -- JDSU (Nasdaq: JDSU; and TSX: JDU) today introduced a new test solution for labs, equipment manufacturers and network operators offering design and system verification of new SONET/SDH network elements and networks up to 10 Gigabits per second (10Gb/s). The features are combined in a single module for the JDSU ONT-50 and ONT-506/512 platform and provide comprehensive testing for Ethernet over SONET/SDH, also referred to as new or next generation SONET/SDH.
The new module further strengthens the ability of the ONT-50/506/512 to support test needs of manufacturers and carriers worldwide by joining a broad range of Ethernet modules with optical and electrical interfaces that provide complete testing across new SONET/SDH and Ethernet signals.
"The surge of broadband traffic in optical networks and the vital role of error-free service mean equipment manufacturers and carriers require a test solution that meets the challenge of being standards-compliant, multi- functional and dependable," said Bernhard Mueller, general manager for JDSU's optical transport Test and Measurement group.
