Network / Communications Monitors
Test Module supports all network transport standards.
Press Release Summary:
Designed for CMA5000 platform, Universal Transport Analysis (UTA) module is suited for 10 GigE and OC-192/STM-64 applications. Ethernet application provides LAN-PHY and WAN-PHY test solutions including traffic monitoring and generation, RFC2544-based performance analysis, continuity check (PING), and loop back tests in switched networks. UTA for OC-192/STM-64 application checks virtual concatenation, LCAS protocol, and differential delay in NGN networks.

Anritsu Introduces the Next Generation of Network Transport Testers
The new CMA5000 universal transport analysis (UTA) module is designed to support today's transport standards and provide the 'only tool you need' for Ethernet, SONET/SDH and much more.
CMA5000 with universal transport analysis (UTA) module
Anritsu Corporation (President Hiromichi Toda) introduced its new transport solution for the CMA5000 platform. The Universal Transport Analysis (UTA) module represents a new generation of tester with the ability to support Ethernet, SONET/SDH, OTN, Fibre Channel, and most other existing transport standards.
Small enough to fit snugly into the CMA5000 platform, the UTA provides field engineers with lots of configurability in a very portable solution by also supporting hot pluggable XFP and SFP transceivers. No matter what equipment requires testing, field engineers are assured of having a test module equipped with the correct optical/electrical interface for every situation.
The UTA module is currently available for 10-GigE and OC-192/STM-64 applications, with other applications available soon.
The 10-GigE UTA application provides technicians and engineers with a powerful set of test functions needed for installing, commissioning, and troubleshooting today's 10-GigE networks. A single module provides everything necessary to test 10-GigE LAN-PHY and WAN-PHY networks, including traffic monitoring and generation, RFC2544-based performance analysis, continuity check (PING), and loop back tests in switched networks.
For the OC-192/STM-64 application, the UTA not only provides the standard test set, but makes available a smart monitoring function for checking virtual concatenation, LCAS protocol, and differential delay in NGN networks.
The last few years have witnessed a tremendous evolution of the transport networks with the emergence of new technologies. Engineers and technicians tasked with the installation, turn-up and maintenance of today's networks have to deal with this increasing complexity in their daily job. In this context, a test instrument like the UTA -- capable of managing all the main technologies in one single module -- is a great help.
Additionally, thanks to its open architecture, the UTA can easily be updated by software and so protects your investment for the future.
