Key Features
The access network explosion
The modern communications market is challenging network operators in new
ways. Because growth from traditional voice services has declined, operators must
find new ways to carry more data traffic in order to maintain their revenue
stream. However, bandwidth bottlenecks in the access and metro networks have
prevented many new high-speed, high-bandwidth services from being efficiently
deployed.
Field technicians, who are tasked with installing and maintaining these networks,
must learn how to test a wide variety of technologies while they strive to reach
new levels of productivity. To perform these tasks, technicians require an
increased number of pieces of equipment and additional training to operate each
device effectively.
Additionally, operators must be able to manage the conflicting demands of
technicians, who need the proper equipment and training to do their jobs, and
executives, who are keeping close control on capital expenses and operating costs.
The ANT-5 rises to the challenge
JDSU effectively meets the challenges faced by network operators with the JDSU
ANT-5 SDH Access Tester. Designed for field operations, the small, rugged,
battery-operated ANT-5 streamlines installation and maintenance testing. Its
advanced features and automated functions enable technicians to perform tests
quickly and effectively. And, with SDH, PDH, SONET, and ATM combined into
a single compact unit, capital investment and training expenses are reduced,
minimizing business costs.
