Acterna Upgrades its SONET/SDH Test Solution

Acterna has added a service disruption analysis function to its ONT-50 Optical Network Tester platform. The new capability can be used to assess failure events on the tributary side of SONET and SDH network elements in the field — thereby testing the “true” quality of a network’s service. In addition to the enhanced APS analysis field capabilities, ONT-50 5.0 allows the lab user an in-depth analysis of service disruption events by detailing detected errors and alarms down to the frame. The resolution of detected outages or network activity is as precise as 125 microseconds, and analysis algorithms can be set flexibly by the lab user.
