Anritsu SDH/SONET analyzer tests 40-Gbps subsea network
-- Test & Measurement World, 12/11/2007 8:33:00 AM
Anritsu announced that its MP1595A 40G SDH/SONET analyzer was used by Huawei Technologies as part of the deployment of a native 40-Gbps optical network over a subsea span between Boston and Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the Hibernia Atlantic cable system. Huawei used the MP1595A to verify the performance of its 40G transponders, which were designed into over 400 miles of cable to increase the capacity of Hibernia Atlantic’s network from 480 gigabytes to 1.9 terabytes.
“Anritsu Company has been a leader in advancing optical technology. We continue to be committed to providing test solutions that will help fiber-optic networks meet customer demand. Our participation in a milestone such as this is indicative of our commitment, and we look forward to maintaining our leadership position,” said Dwane Rose, Anritsu optical engineer.
Wilf Norrlinger, VP of Sales for Huawei, stated, “Anritsu’s state-of-the-art test solution provided critical verification that our 40G integrated solution would allow our customer to dramatically and effectively increase the bandwidth capacity offered through their subsea international cable link.”
The MP1595A analyzer provided the service and mappings necessary to validate the subsea span and to verify the Huawei 40G transponders used to upgrade the existing cable system. A single MP1595A unit can test both new 40/43G and existing 2.5G and 10G equipment and devices, providing an all-in-one solution for performing all network quality measurements.
