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

Over the last 2 years, 100-gigabit Ethernet has been deployed over optical transport network (OTN) systems and distributed over DWDMs. Now is the time to test it all. However, two key questions arise:

  • What tests should be performed?
  • How long should the tests last?  

This webinar addresses the appropriate testing method for high-speed networks. Based on industry standards and forums, EXFO is proposing a simple, yet complete test methodology that should help today’s network operators.
