An in-depth look into EXFO's revolutionary EtherSAM, the new standard in turn-up and troubleshooting today's Ethernet services.

EXFO是首家实施EtherSAM（基于ITU-T Y.156sam标准的以太网服务测试方法）的公司。这种新方法是唯一一种能完全适应当今移动回程、商业和大规模服务的方法。通过这种方法，开通服务和排除服务故障的速度达到原来的八倍，且准确度达100%。

This  application  note  introduces  EXFO’s  new  one-way  frame delay measurement capability and discusses the importance of this critical key performance indicator (KPI) for various services, including real-time services and packet-based synchronization.

As Ethernet is making headway into service providers’ networks, Ethernet testing becomes essential. This animated diagram presents EXFO's wide breadth of solutions for Ethernet turn-up testing, baselining, troubleshooting, monitoring and SLA validation.

With bandwidth demand exploding and the backhaul architecture becoming packet-based, maintaining synchronization is a challenge. This guide explains how to deploy IEEE 1588v2 precision time protocol (PTP), the new solution of choice for synchronization distribution.

A comprehensive guide to network and service performance testing—which is comprised of six informative modules, specifically designed to assist you with Carrier Ethernet service testing.

• Chap. 1: Carrier Ethernet Basics – an in-depth look at Carrier Ethernet, presents the network services and applications, and provides an overview of the key Carrier Ethernet technologies.
• Chap. 2: Carrier Ethernet Testing Technologies and Methodologies – the different testing standards including the new ITU-T Y.1564, as well as the key elements of service lifecycle management and synchronization.

This double-sided flyer overviews EXFO's mobile backhaul test and monitoring offering, which covers the full network lifecycle, from construction and turn-up, to monitoring and troubleshooting. Get a quick look at the key benefits of such a scalable, standards-compliant solution.

This webinar proposes a deployment strategy for operators and carriers interested in PTP, using already available EXFO tools. Each of the five phases comes with a specific objective to be met, with the ultimate goal of completing the last phase with a fully functional and stable PTP-based synchronization network.

As Ethernet continues to evolve as the transport technology of choice, networks are shifting their focus from purely moving data to providing entertainment and new applications in the interconnected world. This webinar focuses on existing test methods and introduces the new ITU-T Y.1564 Ethernet service activation methodology (EtherSAM).

Eliminating today’s backhaul challenges:

• Activate large amounts of towers (cell site deployment)
• Limited technical resources and knowledge
• Work with tight schedules and budget constraints (OPEX pressure)
• Maintain accuracy standards
• Validate numerous classes of service
• Optimize network performance
• Eliminate unnecessary truck rolls
