All the measurements you need in one box. As Ethernet sweeps in to address the huge capacity expansion requirements of modern networking it brings with it completely new methods of synchronization. Today, network performance depends on proving overall synchronization quality and probing its underlying packet-layer and physical-layer mechanisms.
For Technologies up to 10Gbps, Spirent Paragon-X provides direct insights into actual device and service behavior, in a one-box test solution for Sync-E, PTP, and NTP synchronization mechanisms, as well as E1/T1/ToD sync interfaces and Ethernet OAM.
Moreover, the Paragon-X brings together all the measurements you need for the design and verification of Ethernet synchronization devices and networks. With the Paragon-X, proving synchronization performance and quality is now seamless and effortless.
