The ongoing transition towards a converged network infrastructure for legacy DSn/PDH, ISDN, SONET/SDH, OTN, Fibre
Channel, CPRI and packet-based Ethernet services 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 handheld platform, the NetBlazer streamlines
processes and empowers field.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Comprehensive testing for DSn/PDH, ISDN, SONET/SDH, OTN and Ethernet
interfaces up to 10 Gbit/s
- Efficiently assess Fibre Channel networks with best-in-class coverage via
1X, 2X, 4X, 8X and 10X interfaces
- Packet synchronization turn-up and troubleshooting (SyncE/1588 PTP)
- FTTA RRH validation using BBU/eNodeB emulation of the layer-2 CPRI protocol.
Covering interface rates from 1.2 Gbit/s to 9.8 Gbit/s, including unframed
BER testing. Testing can be carried out at the bottom of the basestation, or
kilometers away with a C-RAN architecture.
- Complete ISDN solution for testing and troubleshooting DS1 or E1 primary rate
interfaces (PRI)
- Simplified BER testing with pass/fail indicators based on user-defi ned thresholds
- OTN testing (as per ITU-T G.709) including forward error correction (FEC)
- Faster Ethernet service activation with bidirectional and one-way delay
EtherSAM (ITU-T Y.1564) and RFC 2544 test suites, multiservice traffic
generation, Through mode and bit-error-rate (BER) testing
- True wire-speed, stateful TCP throughput based on RFC 6349 for undisputable
SLA enforcement of Ethernet services
- Carrier Ethernet OAM testing covering Y.1731, G.8113.1 (MPLS-TP), MEF
and 802.1ag standards
- Full line-rate packet capture and advanced filtering from 10M to 10G
- Layer-2 transparency testing with predefined configurations
- Unprecedented configuration simplicity with hybrid touchscreen/keypad
navigation and data entry.
- Increase technician autonomy and productivity with intelligent discovery of
remote EXFO Ethernet testers, as well as in-service Ethernet testing via dual-port
Through mode
- No data interpretation errors with revolutionary new GUI on 7-inch TFT screen,
historical event logger, visual gauges and 3D-icon depictions of pass/fail outcomes
- Simpler reporting with integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity capabilities
- Centralized support for injection/monitoring of errors and alarms, trace messaging,
overhead monitoring/manipulation and performance monitoring statistics
- Integrated applications to test VoIP services, and additional IP test utilities,
including VLAN scan and LAN discovery via EXpert VoIP and EXpert IP test tools
- Extended fi eld autonomy with a compact, lightweight platform equipped with a
long-duration battery pack
- EXFO Connect-compatible: automated asset management; data goes through
the cloud and into a dynamic database
- Offers EXFO TFv−Test Function Virtualization, including FTB Anywhere fl oating
licenses and FTB OnDemand time-based licenses
