Optical network tester from JDSU performs jitter and wander measurements

JDSU has annnounced the introduction of a new jitter feature for the JDSU Optical Network Tester series (ONT-503, 506 and 512) that establishes the ONT as the first and only jitter analysis solution able to conduct both jitter and wander measurements on 10GE Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) devices and systems.

JDSU said its new JDSU ONT jitter solution helps address the essential tasks of characterizing both the jitter and wander performance of SyncE circuits so that critical timing and synchronization functions can be maintained without signal degradation or network performance problems.

“As demand for high-bandwidth services such as video continues to grow, consumers have a tremendous appetite for a high-quality experience - whether they are watching it from home, on the Internet or from a mobile device,” said Lars Friedrich, vice president and general manager in JDSU’s Communications Test and Measurement business segment. “To address this, JDSU’s unique combination of both jitter and wander functions empower network equipment manufacturers and service providers with these capabilities for the first time over 10GE Synchronous Ethernet networks.”
