The FTB-700G Series combines a list of optical tools, including a power meter and visual fault locator, the powerful iOLM-EXFO OTDR technology based on the next generation of the FIP-400B Series of fiber optic inspection probes, as well as a full range of packet transport testing functionalities up to 10G, e.g., EtherSAM (ITU-TY 1564), SyncE/1588 PTP, CPRI, OBSAI and SONET/SDH for complete validation of all SLA parameters.
As fiber optics and Ethernet become the technologies of choice for mobile network operators, it makes perfect sense for today's field technicians to have access to the best solutions from both worlds, optical and Ethernet, in order to accelerate and simplify the testing process.
To increase the effectiveness and efficiency of coverage, operators need to implement new technologies and network configurations, including packet-based networks, Fiber to the Tower (FTTT) backhaul and Fiber to the Antenna (FTTA), as well as small cells and Remote Radio Heads (RRH). As a result, field technicians need to develop specialized knowledge in various areas and be fully equipped to handle any situation or technology.
