As bandwidth demand continues to increase, NSPs are looking at 40G/100G networks to accommodate the ongoing traffic surge. Watch this animated diagram to see how EXFO’s 40G/100G know-how encompasses network component and fiber testing throughout all the transmission network stages to ensure seamless wireline and wireless network infrastructure upgrades.

With the growing demand for 100G services, and the greater capacity and bandwidth that they require, networks are becoming increasingly complex. This animated diagram shows you how EXFO can help you meet 100G Ethernet testing challenges, in the lab and in the field.

At the core of 100G transmission are transponder cards that combine two complex technologies: 100G client interface and 112G long-haul interface. Thorough testing and validation is therefore critical to reduce time-to-market and begin field deployments with confidence.

In this webinar, we discuss the importance of OSNR, the impacts of poor OSNR on a network, and we introduce EXFO’s approach to accurately measure OSNR in 40G and ROADM networks.

This webinar focuses on how service providers can deliver Ethernet-based solutions with various quality of service (QoS) and class of service (CoS) guarantees and robust service-level agreements (SLAs) tailored for each customer's unique needs. As this webinar is hosted by a third party, you will be redirected to their website to listen to the recording.

This webinar explores the current state of synchronization Standards for the synchronization over packet implementations, as well as methods of deployment and the tools and techniques required to assure the successful implementation and ongoing support of such systems.

This webinar reviews possible methods and tools to achieve fast and accurate testing of 100G transmitters during manufacturing. More specifically, it presents a novel approach allowing the use of masks to avoid the need to interpret the test results. As this webinar is hosted by a third party, you will be redirected to their website to listen to the recording.
