The access network explosion
The modern communicationsmarket is challenging network operators in new ways. Because growth from traditional voice services has declined, operatorsmust find new ways to carry more data traffic in order to maintain their revenue stream. However, bandwidth bottlenecks in the access and metro networks have prevented many new high-speed, high-bandwidth services from being efficiently deployed.

Field technicians, who are tasked with installing and maintaining these networks, must learn how to test a wide variety of technologies while they strive to reach new levels of productivity. To perform these tasks, technicians require an increased number of pieces of equipment and additional training to operate each device effectively. Additionally, operatorsmust be able to manage the conflicting demands of technicians, who need the proper equipment and training to do their jobs, and executives, who are keeping close control on capital expenses and operating costs.

The ANT-5 rises to the challenge
Acterna effectively meets the challenges faced by network operators with the Acterna ANT-5 SDH Access Tester. Designed for field operations, the small, rugged, battery-operated ANT-5 streamlines installation and maintenance testing. Its advanced features and automated functions enable technicians to perform tests quickly and effectively. And, with SDH, PDH, SONET, and ATM combined into a single compact unit, capital investment and training expenses are reduced, minimizing business costs.

Easiest to use
Technicians prefer instruments that are the easiest to use, so that they can concentrate their efforts on measurement tasks rather than on the complex operation of the instrument itself.

The ANT-5 is the most complete instrument, with all of the necessary interfaces already built-in, including T1 Bantam, E1 balanced, and E1 unbalanced up to optical interfaces with STM-16/OC-48. It covers T-carrier, PDH, SDH, and SONET technology, all in one instrument.

The ANT-5メsworld-class ease-of-use is based on a clearly structured operation concept: SETUP ヨ RESULTSヨ ACTIONS.

The ANT-5 offers three operation modes to cover all necessary field applications, including intrusive, nonintrusive, and monitoring modes. An important feature is the ECL/NRZ port for monitoring optical circuits at electrical monitor points provided by network elements (STM-1/-4/-16).

The navigation key allows for simple operation, and the keyboard supports the easy input of comments, file names, etc.

The internal memory can hold hundreds of files. For result analysis and report generation, the ANT-5 allows for the easy transfer of files to the instrumentメs Compact Flash Memory Card (CF card). In addition, the Mircrosoft® Windows®-based Off-line Viewer provides simple results analysis.

For report generation, the Off-line Viewer print functions can be used, supporting any of your desktop printers in your Windows environment.
