Acterna ANT-20SE
Advanced Network Tester ªSpeed Evolutionº± SONET
As digital communications networks ex-
pand, the number of network operators is
growing too, and not just due to providers
merging across boarders. Different net-
works such as Cellular, CATV and Internet
are converging too. Nowadays, customers
demand next-to-perfect network availa-
bility, and a top-level transmission quality
has become a given.
ANT-20SE: A design
future-proofed for success
Powerful, precise test capability or simple
operation? PDH, SDH, SONET with all bit
rates from 1.5 Mbit/s to 10 Gbit/s, or ATM?
Don't worry about alternatives! You dont't
have to choose. ANT-20SE delivers sophis-
ticated, precision testing that is easy to use
even in the most demanding environment
for all the above bit rates and for ATM.
In addition comprehensive jitter/wander
measurements up to OC-48 in complete
compliance with the ITU-T Rec. O.172 for
comparable, insightful and accurate mea-
surement results.
The remote operation facilities, gives you
the opportunity to reduce your costs e.g.
operating the instrument from any windows
PC via modem or Ethernet LAN. Always
ready for new standards, higher bit rates
and the intelligent system components of
the future the ANT-20SE is at the forefront
of network installation and manufacturing
applications. Now with the ANT-10Gig a
subset of the ANT-20SE, it is taking you
one step further allowing the analysis of
OC-192/STM-64 signal structures.
One outstanding feature of the ANT-20
test solution has always been its ease of
use, thanks to the very large display and
graphical user interface based on Windows
98. The new ANT-20SE is even better since
the size and brightness of the display have
been further improved. The high speed
access buttons are another useful detail,
allowing you to rapidly launch commonly
occurring measurements.
