The Next Step in SONET/SDH Testing

The increased demand for data and video services continues to drive the need for more cost-effective networks. Technologies such as next-generation SONET/SDH are becoming more important to service providers as they offer an economical means of introducing new revenue-generating, Ethernet-based transport services on existing SONET/SDH infrastructures. In addition, implementation of OTN(ITU-T G.709) will also help reduce the cost of operating DWDM networks by achieving higher transmission quality with longer optical links through the use of forward error correction (FEC).

This opportunity creates the need for test solutions that can help ensure proper deployment, operation and maintenance of standard SONET/SDH, OTN and new Ethernet-based transport networks.

EXFO's FTB-8120 (2.5/2.7 Gbit/s) and FTB-8130 (10/11.3 Gbit/s) Transport Blazer test modules provide advanced DSn/PDH, SONET/SDH, next-generation SONET/SDH and OTN test functions in a single unit, eliminating the need for multiple purpose-built test platforms when commissioning or troubleshooting SONET/SDH, OTN and new data-aware SONET/SDH circuits.

SONET/SDH Service Turn-Up and Troubleshooting

Optical Transport Network Testing

OTN as per ITU-T G.709 has recently introduced two new concepts: ODU0 and ODUflex. ODU0 is a new virtual container of 1.25 Gbit/s bandwidth specifically defined for efficiently mapping Gigabit Ethernet services over OTN. As for ODUflex, it is the most efficient sub-wavelength bandwidth management capability for transport line rates of 10 Gbit/s, 40 Gbit/s and upcoming 100 Gbit/s. ODUflex allows providers to interconnect routers in ways that enable efficient bandwidth growth in steps of 1.25 Gbit/s, eliminating the need to allocate a full fixed-rate ODU container to each connection and allowing service providers to transport efficiently and seamlessly across lower-cost optical infrastructures.

With OTN deployments rapidly increasing, so does the need for smaller field-oriented OTN test equipment. The FTB-8120/8130 Transport Blazer modules offer OTN test capabilities for verifying compliancy with ITU-T G.709 standards. The tests include:

  • OTU1 (2.7 Gbit/s) and OTU2 (10.7 Gbit/s) bit rates
