"Our Ethernet test solutions are designed to provide exactly what customers need cost effectively," says Doyle Mills, Director of Product Marketing. "As the requirements have evolved, we have been able to leverage our technology platform, providing additional features and protecting our customers' investment. The flexibility of the NIC platform and the innovative design of both HD Ethernet and NGMR modules make us the best choice for Ethernet testing in the real world."

For a limited time, the new features can be added to existing NIC products equipped with HD Ethernet modules for only $500. For customers who purchased Digital Lightwave's software warranty, the upgrade is free. New products ordered after June 1st can be upgraded to include the new features at no extra cost.

The NIC Platform offers SONET, SDH, OTN, PDH/T-Carrier, Ethernet and NextGeneration testing up 43Gbps to support the most advanced optical network testing in several different configurations. The High-Density Ethernet module provides up to 8 ports of 10/100/1000BaseT plus 4 GigE ports and a single 10GigE port, all operating independently and simultaneously. The HD card is ideal for factory test applications and can drastically shorten the time required to test multiple ports in field applications. The NGMR module provides a complete telecom/datacom solution in one module (SONET/SDH/OTN/ATM/Ethernet/NextGen). With the NGMR's exclusive "Test Options", you can get exactly the capabilities you need today cost effectively and then add additional capabilities as needed with just a license key. Both HD Ethernet and NGMR modules are available in the compact NIC chassis (2-slot), the larger NIC Plus (5-slot) and the NIC EP (5-slot) rackmount chassis.
