EXFO Launches All-in-One Packet Network Synchronization Test

| January 20, 2011
EXFO has launched SyncWatch-110 synchronization testing unit, a test and monitoring solution including performance assessment of synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) and Precision Time protocol (IEEE 1588v2).
As mobile backhaul networks evolve to support packet-based transmission, maintaining accurate synchronization becomes critical to network performance. If left unchecked, synchronization errors can cause a significant loss of data, reduced network capacity and dropped calls. EXFO’s SyncWatch-110 test unit is purpose-built for qualifying and monitoring next-generation networks that use IEEE 1588v2 and/or SyncE technologies, while maintaining support of traditional TDM synchronization testing.
