Sunrise Telecom Handheld First to Support Up to 4 Gigabit Fibre Channel Testing

By Raju Shanbhag, TMCnet Contributing Editor

Sunrise Telecom (News - Alert) Incorporated has introduced the SunSet MTT-30Z Fiber Channel Module, the first handheld solution to support 1, 2 and 4 Gigabit fiber channel testing with full port login of switch fabric. For the service providers who provision or diagnose high-performance Storage Area Networks (SAN) in fiber channel, ESCON and FICON, this new test set is an essential tool.



 
The MTT-30Z is ideal for validating the transport FTTx backbone used to supply SAN services as it has a full suite of tests. Helping in the verification of end-to-end transport of fibre channel, ESCON and FICON and determining throughput and link initialization, this compact, field unit provides traffic generation and measurements.
 
Olga Yashkova, industry analyst, Communication Test & Measurement, Frost & Sullivan, commented, “Continuous deployment of 4, 8 and 10 Gigabit fibre channel devices and increased customer expectations drive the demand for fibre channel testing and analysis equipment. Not only does the MTT-30Z handheld test set fill a need for fibre channel services, but it also clearly demonstrates Sunrise Telecom's commitment to bringing new technologies and leading-edge test systems to market.”
 
The MTT-30Z is part of the MTT modular handheld platform. Field technicians will get the industry's broadest range of testing capabilities for installation, troubleshooting and maintenance with over 43,000 units deployed.
 
With the help of this unit's modular design, users can easily switch between different testing applications, which include access services: VoIP, IPTV (News - Alert) and VoD, transport Infrastructure: E1/T1, E3/T3, datacom, SDH/SONET, ISDN BRI/PRI, GSM, GR303, SS7, V5.1/V5.2 and Frame Relay, metro, Fibre Channel and Ethernet: BERT and QoS, Optical: OTDR, C/DWDM channel monitoring, Power Meter and end to end loss, access infrastructure: Copper, ADSL2+, VDSL/VDSL2 and SHDSL.
 
With the unit's F_Port, N_Port and E_Port login with optimal buffer-to-buffer credit management, technicians can perform Fibre Channel port login of switch fabric. Also, SAN service performance and quality can be accurately measured and diagnosed with BER test, roundtrip delay, bandwidth sweep and RFC2544-like automatic testing.
