Spirent Communications(TM) Wins Major Contract for Next
Generation IP and ATM Diagnostics
LAS VEGAS, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- USTA -- Spirent Communications
(NYSE:SPM) (LONDON: SPT) announced today it has been selected by a leading
North American service provider to provide its latest solution for
next-generation IP and ATM test and diagnostics. Spirent's SmartSight(TM)
Broadband Remote Test Unit (BRTU) and associated REACT software modules will be
deployed throughout the service provider's ATM network. The three-year,
multi-million dollar agreement marks the first major deployment of Spirent's
newest solution for broadband and further validates Spirent's leading role in
service assurance for next-generation IP technologies.
SmartSight's ability to scale was a major factor in its selection. First
stages of deployment are expected to begin by the end of the year.
SmartSight BRTU is a new network appliance designed to interface with
next-generation ADMs and MSPPs. The device enables testing, provisioning, and
maintenance of services from the metro edge and includes a full suite of tests
from DS1, DS3, OC-3 and OC-12 signals and IP, VoIP, ATM and Frame Relay
services.
Customers benefit from increased efficiency of the troubleshooting process and
reduced need for technicians to become experts in all protocols and
technologies across all seven layers of the OSI model. The SmartSight BRTU
architecture is extensible to new hardware modules for higher-speed interfaces
such as OC-48, OC-192, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and provides flexibility in
allowing support for new technology standards via software upgrades.
REACT is the most advanced system for interactive and automated testing of a
wide variety of network services. From analog private lines to high- capacity
digital and broadband services, to digital subscriber line and fast- packet
services (Ethernet, ATM, IP), REACT provides powerful capabilities for
monitoring, testing, and workflow management in a package that is full-
featured, well-integrated, and easy-to-use. In addition to efficient
management of test resources, the circuit database and interactive and
automated testing sessions are also provided. REACT user interfaces combine
powerful features for the experienced technician with ease of use for the
novice technician.
This unbeatable combination is also extraordinarily scalable, letting customers
carry out fast, accurate IP service diagnostics across networks at every
carrier scale using fundamentally the same test operations.
