The ongoing transition toward a converged network infrastructure for legacy DSn/PDH, ISDN, SONET/SDH, OTN and Fibre Channel, requires a test tool that can cover a wide range of interfaces and rates—without sacrificing portability, speed or cost.
Leveraging the powerful, intelligent FTB-1 Pro handheld platform, the NetBlazer V2 Series streamlines processes and empowers field technicians to test and validate DSn/PDH, ISDN, SONET/SDH, OTN, Fibre Channel, common public radio interface (CPRI) and packet-based high-speed Ethernet services efficiently.
Housed in the FTB-1 Platform, the FTB-880 offers comprehensive, yet simple test suites for field technicians to easily turn up, validate and troubleshoot DSn/PDH, ISDN, SONET/SDH, OTN, CPRI/OBSAI and SyncE/1588 PTP services at up to 11.3 Gbit/s.Modular Test Kit 10GigE SONET SDH PDH.
