JUNE 11, 2008 -- EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering Inc. (search for EXFO) says that its FTB-8130NGE Power Blazer multi-service test module has been approved by a Tier-1 network service provider (NSP) in the Americas.
EXFO's Power Blazer module, offering up to 10-Gbit/sec test capabilities for next-generation SONET/SDH/OTN, Ethernet, and Fibre Channel applications, has been designed with scalability and flexibility to meet the demands of converged, next-generation IP-based networks.
The company says the FTB-8130NGE Power Blazer is well suited for multi-service transport platform (MSTP) and reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) network deployments as well as maintenance activities. In addition, 1X/2X/4X/10X Fibre Channel testing rates are now offered on an optional basis.
"This latest product approval at a Tier-1 NSP is another clear indicator that our innovative transport and datacom test solutions are creating a major upheaval in the next-generation protocol test market," said Germain Lamonde, EXFO's chairman, president, and CEO. "I'm pleased with the ongoing success of our transport/datacom test solutions as they surpassed 20% of Telecom Division revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and are increasingly gaining traction with Tier-1 accounts."
