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.

Easiest to use

Technicians prefer instruments that
are the easiest to use, so that they can
concentrate their efforts on measure­ment tasks rather than on the complex
operation of the instrument itself.

The ANT-5 is the most complete
instrument, with all of the necessary
interfaces already built-in, including
T1 Bantam, E1 balanced, and E1
unbalanced up to optical interfaces
with STM-16/OC-48. It covers T­carrier, PDH, SDH, and SONET
technology, all in one instrument.

The ANT-5’s world-class ease-of-use is
based on a clearly structured operation
concept: SETUP – RESULTS –
ACTIONS.

The ANT-5 offers three operation
modes to cover all necessary field
applications, including intrusive, non­intrusive, and monitoring modes. An
important feature is the ECL/NRZ
port for monitoring optical circuits at
electrical monitor points provided by
network elements (STM-1/-4/-16).

The navigation key allows for simple
operation, and the keyboard supports
the easy input of comments, file
names, etc.

The internal memory can hold
hundreds of files. For result analysis
and report generation, the ANT-5
allows for the easy transfer of files to
the instrument’s Compact Flash
Memory Card (CF card). In addition,
the Mircrosoft® Windows®-based Off­line Viewer provides simple results
analysis.

For report generation, the Off-line
Viewer print functions can be used,
supporting any of your desktop
printers in your Windows
environment.

Application selection

direct access to the following
applications:

– Performance Analysis (according to

ITU-T, ANSI)
– Repetitive BERT (radio link application)
– Automatic Protection Switching (APS)
– Service Disruption Measurements
– OH Capture
– Round Trip Delay Measurements

(RTD)
The corresponding results are directly
accessible in the results page structure.
