"With the introduction of a new 40G field installation and maintenance solution, JDSU continues to lead the industry as high-capacity network expansion continues and our customers' requirements evolve".
The flexible and future-proof design of the T-BERD/MTS-8000 40G transport module provides in-depth, current 40G testing needs (OC-768/STM-256) while also adapting to new developments in the market (like changing line coding or line speeds).
Powerful features of the unit include ITU-T and GR-253 compliant optics with optical power measurement and frequency offset adjustment and measurement as well as multiple mappings to structure the 40G pipe, overhead generation and analysis, extensive error and alarm generation and analysis, various timing modes, round trip delay (RTD) measurements and performance according to G.826 and G828.
JDSU provides one of the industry's most complete 40G test portfolios, including the ONT and TestPoint platforms for lab and production environments.
JDSU has shipped the ONT 40G for over two years and the TestPoint 40G for almost one year.
Both testers are used in lab environments and were involved in some of the industry's first 40G field turn-ups and the ONT was the industry's first all-in-one tester for 40/43G, including jitter and wander.
JDSU also provides reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs), optical amplifiers, modulators and transponders that are 40G capable for dense wavelength division multiplexer (DWDM) networks.
Most recently, Mintera Corporation and JDSU jointly developed a 40G DWDM transponder which incorporates adaptive-differential phase shift keying (ADPSK) technology.
It was introduced to the market with the industry's first commercial shipment in December 2007.
