March 14, 2005 Ottawa, ON -- Innocor, a provider of test products for broadband services, has added a portable, multi-rate 10-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) platform to its TestPoint family of products. The company says its TestPoint TS-10 is a cost-effective 10-GbE multi-rate platform optimized for mobile and desktop applications.
According to the company, the portable unit supports multiple transmission rates and protocols spanning 10-GbE LAN (10.312G), 10-GbE WAN (9.953G), OTU-2 (10.709G), 11.049G FEC (OTU-2 LAN), and 11.095G FEC. The unit's test functions include traffic loading, impairment injection, error reporting, information capture, monitoring, and performance characterization. It also supports lower layer test functions including detailed error injection, extensive statistics at the coding layer, fine tuned control of the Inter Frame Gaps, coding layer capture and decode, and transmission clock rate adjustments to stress the Device Under Test receiver.
"Innocor is continuing to see the market need grow and evolve for specialized broadband test equipment," contends Guylain Barlow, Innocor's director of product line management. "The TestPoint TS-10 is addressing the specific needs of companies who want a cost effective, portable solution for testing multiple 10 Gigabit Ethernet line rates."
Other technical features of the unit include:
* On-board clock rate variations provided with a range of +/-110 ppm for 10-GbE LAN and +/-30 ppm for SONET/SDH, 10-GbE WAN, OTU-2, 11.049G FEC, or 11.095G FEC.
* Support for recovered timing.
* A clock-out signal for eye diagram measurements.
* A 10/100BaseT Ethernet port to perform system management from a PC.
* An embedded Java GUI to eliminate need for dedicated, computer-based software applications, and to facilitate remote access.
* Support for automation and scripting using any programming language.
The unit is currently available.
