The perfect tool for testing SDH & SONET core networks up to 10 Gbps
SDH and SONET technologies are firmly established in the core and metropolitan networks. STM-64 and OC-192 are widely
deployed in today’s networks. While great care is devoted to warrant a very high quality of transport, in the real world of day-
to-day installation, commissioning and maintenance activities things are not always running smooth. To this effect, several
important tests are always carried out in order to assess the good behaviour of these networks before turn-up. Similarly, when
the network has been turned on, it is paramount to keep monitoring the network health at physical level and beyond.
The SDH/SONET application of the UTA module provides a complete set of test functions for testing SDH/SONET networks
up to 10 Gbps, among which we find the checking & monitoring of the optical levels, alarm, error & frequency stressing,
tributary mapping checking, routing, connectivity and pointer tests on the synchronous payloads, round trip delay measurement,
BER tests, automatic protection scheme switching time and more.
As a part of the UTA applications family, the SDH/SONET application is just one test solution among many others. The UTA
module has been designed to support almost all the transport standards of modern networks (ex: 10 GigE, G.709, …) and
represents a new class of tester for the field engineers. One tool is all you need!
