NetTest Enhances SDH/Sonet Tester

UTICA, NY –- NetTest, a leading worldwide provider of testing, monitoring and management solutions for advanced and converged networks, today announced the introduction of a new “Jitter and Wander” option for its SDH/SONET module, a component of the CMA 5000 Multi Layer Test Platform.

NetTest’s Optical Transport Analysis (OTA) module is the first field portable tester available to test jitter and wander up to 2.5Gbps. Thus, it enables network engineers to minimize the effects of recurrent phenomenon such as network clock synchronization and wander and timing instabilities during the installation, commission and maintenance of broadband networks.

In addition to testing jitter and wander from DS1/E1 up to OC-48/STM 16, the OTA module also provides automatic jitter tolerance measurements, jitter transfer measurements and test reports. A user friendly GUI ensures ease of use resulting in time and cost savings.

“NetTest is very pleased to be able to provide its customers with another industry first and enable greater network efficiency and cost savings”, said Ron Aharoni, Director of Marketing, NetTest.
