EtherSAM: The New Standard in Ethernet Service Testing

Sophie Legault

Director - T&D Business Unit

Sophie Legault has a solid foundation in the telecommunications industry with over 15 years of experience. She currently holds the position of Director - T&D Business Unit.

Sophie began her career as a Network Specialist for Stentor, the once cross-country network operator for Canadian ILECs. She then expanded her experience as a Systems Engineer for Nortel Networks’ optical Internet product line. Sophie has accumulated a solid background in both telecom and datacom network applications.

She holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from École Polytechnique de Montreal as well as an MBA from École des Hautes Études Commerciales in Montreal.

EXFO is the first to implement EtherSAM, an Ethernet service testing methodology based on the ITU-T Y.1564 standard. This new methodology is the only one fully adapted to today’s mobile backhaul, commercial and wholesale services. It allows turning up and troubleshooting services eight times faster with 100% accuracy.
