EXFO launches MCM Gigabit Ethernet Test Interface Series

EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering has released the MCM Gigabit Ethernet Interface Series, a test module designed to meet performance and capacity requirements of network equipment manufacturers and network service providers who are developing and deploying VoIP and IP multimedia subsystem networks.

According to the company, the new MCM Gigabit Ethernet Interface Series was designed to meet testing challenges of modern networks. A single module can emulate up to 256,000 unique IP multimedia (IMS)/VoIP subscribers and 64 000 voice/video streams while performing quality analysis on every stream in real time.

The MCM Gigabit Ethernet Interface Series can be housed in EXFO's InterWatch R14 and QualityAssurer QA-604 platforms, and is backward-compatible with existing software options. With the MCM Gigabit Ethernet Interface Series, a single 2U QA-604 platform can support 512,000 emulated IMS/VoIP subscribers and 128,000 voice/video streams, according to the company.

Etienne Gagnon, vice-president of product management and marketing at EXFO, said: "With the release of the new MCM Gigabit Ethernet Interface Series, EXFO has once again raised the bar for high-performance and high-capacity testing in the lab, as it delivers four times more capacity per port than the closest competitor.

"Network equipment manufacturers and network service providers can now stress their networks using real-world network traffic in a lab environment and be confident that their networks will deliver the level of customer experience expected-even when subjected to high network load."
