Spectral Testing

Bandwidth demand keeps increasing, thanks to the growing popularity of data-hungry applications such as video-on-demand, voice-over-IP (VoIP) and videoconferencing. Service providers therefore need to deploy faster, more reliable networks, using novel technologies such as reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADM) or 40G networks.

Optical Spectrum Analyzers to Characterize CWDM and DWDM Networks

Reducing downtime in CWDM and DWDM networks calls for an accurate measurement of optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR). However, ROADM and 40 Gbit/s networks present a new and unique challenge, as the existing OSNR measurement methods yield incorrect results.

EXFO’s WDM-Aware method is the answer to this new challenge, providing reliable i-in-band OSNR measurement on a per-channel basis.

Awards and Recognitions

EXFO receives the Global Portable Fiber Optic Test Equipment (FOTE) Market Share Leadership Award from Frost & Sullivan

This award is presented to the company that has demonstrated excellence in capturing the highest market share within its industry. Frost & Sullivan notes that EXFO's success in the portable FOTE market segment is attributed to the company's constant drive for excellence, innovation and new product deployment worldwide. The analysis confirms that EXFO is also the largest market share holder in the OTDR product segment.
