Looking to deploy VoLTE smoothly without going through costly delays? This cartoon breaks it down for you. See how you can simulate real-world traffic and live network diversity to pre-test VoLTE in the lab.

EXFO Connect. Make Your Data Mean Business. EXFO Connect marks a new era of comprehensive test management that’s specially designed to tackle the operational components that are essential to managing network testing. EXFO Connect’s value-added applications—combined with the unsurpassed FTB platform family’s connectivity and performance—allow you to streamline your test operations, from build-out to maintenance, helping you keep the competitive edge.

Presentation of EXFO’s WDM Investigator—the ultimate tool to cut down troubleshooting time and operational expenses in WDM networks.

This short video demonstrates how you can save 50% of your test time by testing two fibers at once using a loopback test method. Learn step-by-step the different unidirectional and bi-directional test scenarios that can be applied in many fiber test applications, including FTTA, DAS or data centers.

No more tip swapping. Inspect bulkhead and patchcord connectors using the same fiber inspection probe tip.

Communications is the DNA of the human species. We rely on mobile connectivity to carry out our daily tasks at work, at home, everywhere, every day. What would we do without reliable wireless networks? What could happen if complex VoLTE networks aren’t properly tested before rollout? How to prevent VoLTE deployment delays and network outages? Watch this short video to find the answers!

We see the CEO guy calling the EXFO guy. In the lobby, we see trophies, and medals. The client shows the different distinctions that the company received. CEO: Hi There. Thanks for your help last time our VoLTE deployment was a big success. Now, I want to introduce WebRTC service in my network. Once again, I need your help and expertise. We see them walking toward the CEO’s office. EXFO: Sure! I can help test and launch your WebRTC service. In fact, I’ll qualify your network not only for WebRTC services, but also for interworking with all of your other VoLTE, voice over Video, and RCS services. CEO: Wonderful! I knew I could count on you. Now in the CEO’s office, the EXFO guy gives a tutorial on WebRTC. EXFO: For both personal and business use, access to the Internet via web browsers has become a fundamental requirement. WebRTC enables real-time communication via browsers. As you know, more than one billion devices like tablets, smartphones, and PCs already support WebRTC-enabled browsers. That number is expected to increase to more than six billion by 2019. Not only that, WebRTC is used in native mobile and machine (IoT) platforms and applications. I’m glad you decided to deploy WebRTC. It is definitely an opportunity for you to capitalize on this new demand. You’ll be able to extend existing VoLTE, voice over video, and RCS services to more Internet users and even introduce new services to your existing customer base. It will help you reduce customer churn, increase profitability, and overcome the OTT threat in the communications market. Client: Excellent! But, what do I do concretely to extend my IMS services to web users? EXFO: This interworking between the telecom and web clients is made possible by the WebRTC gateway, responsible for translating protocols and enabling user communication between both domains. Client: OK! But tell me, will it have considerable impact on my network? EXFO: Using WebRTC to extend your IMS services to web users will indeed require network architecture changes. Those changes have to support interworking through the WebRTC gateway, resolve Network Address Translation issues through the NAT servers, and more. So, it has to be smartly introduced to the network and accurately tested  That’s what I’m here for! Client: Perfect! With your help, I’ll maximize this WebRTC opportunity. (smiling) Knowing that I can reach new customers and bring in exciting new services, ah this makes my day. We see both the CEO and the EXFO guy looking and smiling at the spectators. The sun is back in the CEO’s office. Narrator: Ask for EXFO’s WebRTC test solution.

Hi, my name is Marcos Vasconcellos, Product Specialist for EXFO’s Transport and Datacom business unit. In today’s NetBlazer 100Gig Tech Corner, we’re going to take a look at EXFO’s iSAM application and how to use it to configure a Y.1564 and RFC6349 quickly and easily: iSAM uses a three-step approach to validate and activate Ethernet services from 10Meg to 100Gig. It’s the best tool for service providers to easily migrate from outdated and limited RFC 2544 to the newer Y.1564 and RFC 6349 which together cover layers 2, 3 and 4. EXFO is the only vendor to offer such a powerful, yet simple-to-use application. So simple that it will take only a few seconds to show you how to use it: First, configure the local port, in this example 100 Gig Ethernet. Step two, select how many services will be tested and which tests to run. In this case, let’s choose configuration and performance tests. Third step you simply press on the start button and it will automatically discover the far-end unit for bidirectional results. So, as you just saw, it is very simple. Service providers can validate services all the way up to layer 4 and have all the results on one single report. No one else in the industry offers such a smart application. Look, … it’s important here to take a moment to think about the potential time savings that iSAM brings to the table. Think about how many more turn-ups and troubleshooting activities can be done in a single day when your technicians are equipped with test sets loaded with easy to use, powerful and intuitive features like iSAM. In the end iSAM means big operational savings—more testing done in less time. Thank-you for taking some time to learn more about EXFO’s iSAM application. Make sure to take a look at our other NetBlazer 100Gig Tech Corner capsules. Thanks.

Part of EXFO TFv, FTB OnDemand enables customers to activate a wide range of testing functionalities (e.g., 100G testing) for a specific period of time to match their exact needs. This flexibility is perfect for situations where a test function is only needed for a specific project or for a new service that is still in the early ramp-up stage.

In FTTH or mobile backhaul environments where you need to diagnose link problems or establish pass/fail status for connectors, you can combine solutions like the iOLM and ConnectorMax applications.
