Spirent Communications announced a new service assurance solution for metro Ethernet networks. Spirent's new 10/100/Gigabit Ethernet solution, which has already been purchased by a major North American ILEC, delivers three essential benefits to service providers:
- Multi-layer correlation on a single platform and process to centrally determine the root cause of a problem;
- Reductions in field dispatches to support provisioning and maintenance; and
- Automation and expert analysis to empower lower-tier technicians with "virtual super-tester" abilities.
The solution adds new diagnostic and analytical modules to Spirent's existing REACT OSS software. The solution also includes Spirent's qScope 5000 remote logical layer network probes to collect network data and conduct application-specific tests and expert network analysis at the premise, provider and core network boundaries.
