February 15, 2005 Utica, NY -- NetTest, a global provider of operational support solutions for advanced and converged networks, today announced the availability of a new SONET/SDH analysis option for its CMA 5000 Optical Transport Analysis (OTA) application.
The company says the new option will allow operators and equipment manufacturers to quickly and easily test the operation of next generation SONET/SDH networks up to 10Gbit/sec, including such parameters as Virtual Concatenation (VCAT), Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS), and Differential Delay.
"For operators and carriers, the advantages of the evolution of SONET/SDH networks are obvious: efficiency, flexibility, new service revenues, and more," contends Arnaud Wroblewski, Product Manager, NetTest. "However, for the engineers and technicians tasked with the installation, turn-up, and maintenance of today's networks, specific test instruments capable of handling these different technologies are needed."
