High Speed Networks: SONET/SDH, OTN, WDM, 40/100/400G NEMs and Lab WDM/SONET/OTN transport testing

Optical spectrum analyzers (OSAs), channel analyzers and optical channel analyzers are just some of the many types of products that can be used to perform spectral analysis. There are also many models within each product category and several vendors, making the task of choosing the best product for your application seem complex. 

Join EXFO’s OSA product line manager, Jean-Sébastien Tassé, to discover:

  • The pros and cons of each spectral testing product category 
  • Typical applications applicable to each product category
  • Selection criteria that can be applied to any OSA vendor 
  • EXFO’s best spectral testing product for each application
  • OSAs and 200G+

Who should attend:

  • Field Technicians
  • Central office and head-end technicians
  • Network designers and planners

This webinar is ideal for those who are familiar with what is an Optical Spectrum Analyzer, already understand and appreciate the need for it, and are now interested in learning the key differences in order to select the best OSA.
