EXFO has introduced the FTB-88100NGE Power Blazer Multiservice Test Module to address 40G/100G field deployments. The product is the industry’s smallest field-testing solution supporting 10 megabit-to-100 gigabit rates in a single module. It covers a wide range of technologies including SONET/SDH, OTN and ethernet.
The FTB-88100NGE Power Blazer is optimised for field testing with an easy-to-use GUI. It delivers first-class flexibility: remote management, battery operation and integrated optical tools. Carriers can combine the FTB-88100NGE with EXFO’s optical modules, such as an optical spectrum analyser, making it the perfect kit for field commissioning and turn-up. Furthermore, the FTB-88100NGE is compatible with EXFO Connect, so users can benefit from EXFO’s cloud-based services, including centralised management of test units and data.
“Over the past few years, EXFO has been a leading provider of 40G/100G testing solutions. Now, as the market is moving toward 40G/100G mass deployments, we are excited and proud to launch the first truly portable field multiservice 100G test instrument, at a time when carriers are coping with emerging requirements,” said Étienne Gagnon, vice president of EXFO’s Test and Measurement Division. “We realize the pressure and challenges our customers are facing to deploy this very complex technology in the field, and we are committed to offering them broad, simple, scalable and cost-effective 10M-to-100G test solutions.”
