Testing design and conformance of Next Generation Transport Networks

Next Generation SONET/SDH equipment plays a key role in today’s’ networks. It allows for efficient handling of data, voice and video traffic (triple play). This is addressing the needs of service providers to transport services like “bandwidth optimized” Ethernet over the widely deployed SONET/SDH networks.

New installations of broadband links today are frequently done with OTN technology. With its’ Forward Error Correction (FEC) it increases the fault acceptance capability of a high speed link, thus providing a higher transmission quality or possible longer links.

DWDM is still another great enabler of increased bandwidth by optical multiplexing of multiple high speed links. As a result, companies are increasingly require advanced testing solutions that are able to combine all necessary test applications and enable quick time to market of their products.

The ONT-50 is a flexible, four slot, mainframe test solution with broadest range of digital and optical application modules. Modules to test are OTN, SONET, SDH, PDH, NewGen, Ethernet, Jitter as well as a variety of Optical Spectrum Analyzers. 

The ONT-50 allows a free combination of all available testing modules which can be shared among multiple users simultaneously. Drivers and test libraries support Tcl/Tk and LabWindows to minimize efforts to use ONT-50 in an automated environment
