UNH Partners with TraceSpan to Provide GPON Interoperability and Conformance Testing
Feb 14, 2012 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
UNH-IOL, a laboratory dedicated to testing data networking technologies through industry collaboration, and TraceSpan Communications, a provider of broadband analysis and monitoring solutions, announce their partnership for GPON interoperability and conformance testing.
According to a release, in the frame of this partnership the UNH-IOL labs will build a GPON test environment using TraceSpan's GPON Xpert analyzer. This test environment will allow them to perform extensive GPON testing, including among others interoperability testing according the BBF WT-255 test plan.
As a multi-layer analyzer, GPON Xpert will provide UNH-IOL and its customers with full visibility to the content of all the protocols and layers on the GPON network, including MAC and OMCI layers, as well as the user traffic on the GPON network in protocol layers such as Ethernet, PPP, PPPoE, IPv4, IPv6, TCP, IGMP and HTTP. Its sophisticated Validation Testing mechanism will allow UNH-IOL to provide go/no-go indications about compliance with the test cases, as well as with other user-defined test cases.
"As UNH-IOL expands its GPON testing activities, we identified the need for a GPON analyzer as a major building block for our test environment," said Lincoln Lavoie, UNH-IOL Senior Engineer, Broadband Technologies. "As a world-recognized test lab, an architect of the BBF WT-255 Interoperability Test Plan and a leading contributor to the BBF.247 conformance test plan, we are committed to creating the best GPON testing environment possible. We feel TraceSpan and their GPON Xpert product are a great fit in this environment and will improve the GPON testing available at the UNH-IOL."
"We are proud to have UNH-IOL as our partner," said Hanan Herzberg, TraceSpan founder and CEO, "and we are confident that we will add significant value to UNH-IOL and their customers by providing comprehensive standard-compliant GPON testing solutions. UNH-IOL's decision confirmed again that our solutions are the best ones out there."
The UNH-IOL provides broad-based interoperability and standards conformance testing for data, telecommunications and storage networking products and technologies.
TraceSpan Communications develops and manufactures broadband testing and monitoring solutions.
