Acterna debuts 40Gbit/s optical tester to speed development, roll out of next-generation SONET/SDH networks

Fiber Optics Weekly Update, June 7, 2002

Acterna announced that it is supporting the development and roll out of new high-speed optical networks and services with the addition of 40Gbit/ s capability to its portable Advanced Network Tester (ANT) for use in the lab or in the field. The Acterna ANT-40G is the first tester that provides complete analysis of framed signals on SONET/SDH networks operating at OC-768c/STM-256c and will allow manufacturers and service providers to verify high-speed networks and network components.

As 40Gbit/s systems and services begin to migrate from the laboratory into the optical core network "backbone," manufacturers must speed the development of new products, and service providers must work quickly to ensure proper integration of these products into existing networks.
