Spescom MeasureGraph, a leading provider of testing, monitoring, management and optical component solutions for networks, has announced the launch of the NetTest CMA5000 Multi-Layer Network Test Platform. Its makers say that the CMA5000 represents a telecommunication industry breakthrough that combines best-in-class performance and ease-of-use for accelerating the deployment of new services and reducing the total cost of measurement.
Through the open-architecture design of the CMA5000, NetTest offers high performance measurement applications in one powerful, modular platform that enables networks to be installed, commissioned and documented more efficiently with less cost. The flexibility and scalability of the CMA5000 allows the platform to evolve with user testing needs and technology for addressing ever-changing telecommunication infrastructures. This latest entry in NetTest's award-winning CMA family includes all required testing applications to install, commission and maintain multiple layers of current and next generation networks.
"NetTest understands, through its well-established relationships with service providers and vendors worldwide, that network operators are increasingly called upon to manage multiple layers of complex, converging networks," says Hilton Preston, sales manager for Spescom MeasureGraph's Network Systems. "With the CMA5000, NetTest successfully combines versatility and ease-of-use in a single test and measurement platform for multiple network layers."
"We have designed the industry's next generation network test platform by listening closely to our customers," said Jens Maaloe, CEO and Chairman, NetTest. "They need the ability to quickly deploy new services and respond to the evolving requirements of their customers. Consequently, NetTest has created the CMA5000 with applications that range from OTDR, OSA and Dispersion to BER and Gigabit Ethernet test, making the CMA5000 the ideal solution for addressing the multiple layers of communication networks."
The CMA5000 can fully qualify multiple-layer networks for maximum performance and revenue generation. It reduces the total cost of measurement, as one flexible platform provides complete testing solutions that will save time and money by:
* Minimising training.
* Increasing user efficiency.
* Reducing equipment inventory.
* Decreasing test time.
