EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering has launched the RTU-310 (1 Gbit/s) and RTU-310G (10 Gbit/s) IP Service Test Heads to address the growing demand for centralized IP/Ethernet testing solutions in mobile switch centers (MSC).
EXFO says the RTU-310x series seamlessly interoperates with the company’s entire portfolio of portable Ethernet field testers and the BrixNGN network monitoring solution for cost-efficient and comprehensive end-to-end testing, turn-up and troubleshooting of Ethernet services.
The RTU-310x test heads leverage the performance assurance testing capabilities of the portable FTB-8510B and FTB-8510G Packet Blazer Ethernet field testers. The RTU-310x series is a carrier-class, rackmount solution that facilitates the integration of end-to-end, bidirectional Ethernet testing, including RFC 2544, and advanced wire-speed traffic analysis into the demanding central office environment, enabling carriers to increase technician autonomy and productivity with solo control of remote and local test devices.
The RTU-310x series can optionally be integrated into the BrixNGN Carrier Ethernet network monitoring solutions, allowing service providers to continuously collect, correlate, analyze and visualize strategic QoS and QoE data from the network core to the customer endpoint at full line rate testing speeds. This critical data enables accurate capacity planning and service turn-up verification, as well as the rapid identification, diagnosis and resolution of network and service issues before customers are affected – thereby guaranteeing performance and quality.
