Critical QoS and QoE insight into OTT video performance

While streaming video is everywhere, it is also the number one source of frustration for internet subscribers—particularly those on mobile networks. With video expected to make up 90% of 5G mobile traffic, it’s more important than ever to understand subscriber QoE. Unfortunately, operators have historically had little-to-no real-time visibility of OTT video streaming performance. Nova Active OTT video monitoring is the industry-first solution that detects and diagnoses the root cause of OTT video streaming problems in real time so that service providers can deliver a differentiated streaming experience to their customers. With it, service providers can correlate user experience (QoE) to network issues (QoS) within seconds. Learn more

800G bit-error-rate testing enhanced with FEC capabilities

Discover EXFO’s BA-4000 series of 400G/800G electrical BER testers. 400G transceivers are now moving from R&D to mass production! Bit-error-rate (BER) is the major indicator of the performance of transceivers and transmission systems. IEEE 400G standard states that forward error correction (FEC) is mandatory beyond 200G for the qualification of transceivers. Discover all the advanced FEC features available on the BA-4000.

Fibre Channel BER Testing—1x-16x on the Same Module

Hi, my name is Marcos Vasconcellos, Product Specialist for EXFO’s Transport and Datacom Business Unit. Welcome to the NetBlazer 100Gig Tech Corner where we take a more detailed look at important technologies and unique time-saving features of our NetBlazer Series of testers. Today we’re looking at EXFO’s 16x Fibre Channel Bit Error Rate testing capability, which I’ll be demonstrating on the NetBlazer FTB-890, our portable 10M to 100Gig high speed tester. It’s the perfect choice for field testing of multiple speeds and technologies in metro networks. With this feature, we can perform Fibre Channel Bit Error Rate Testing from 1x all the way to 16x, all on the same module. An important point to mention here is that EXFO is one of the few vendors supporting all these rates—so 1x to 16x and 100 Gig—on a single module. A very valuable and cost-saving feature —eliminating the need for operators to buy a second tester for Fibre Channel 16x. The Fibre Channel test process is simple: Choose the modify structure button, Select the interface rate that you want to test at — in this example I’m choosing 16x. Insert the SFP+ transceiver. Now, we can easily run the test. Simple, fast, efficient — all on the same tester. So thanks for taking some time to see firsthand how quick and easy it is to run a Fibre Channel test – 1x all the way to 16x – all on one EXFO test set. Be sure to take a look at our other NetBlazer 100Gig Tech Corner capsules. Thank-you.
