Video over IP Monitoring Tektronix new IP Video monitoring tools provide facility and network-wide views across a video network, which enable operators to identify a large percentage of real-time digital video errors. The IPM400A, combined with the VQNET Element Management software, allows engineers to rapidly identify the location and root cause of underlying systemic service delivery problems.

LG-Nortel WDM-PON architecture The LG-Nortel portfolio, one of the industry’s first to use WDM-PON architecture, extends the advantages of carrier-grade Ethernet to the “First Mile” and overcomes traffic jams caused by bandwidth-hungry applications such as HD video on demand. WDM-PON makes it possible to divide a single optical fiber into multiple wavelengths, each capable of carrying the same bandwidth that previously required an entire fiber. Telamon Corporation

DOCSIS 3.0 Testing The first handheld field analyzer with a CableLabs Certified DOCSIS 3.0 modem now offers you WiFi connectivity as well. The 860 DSPi from Trilithic has a new WiFi option for testing networks. You can display a list of access points within range of the meter, along with field strength, status of security and SSID, channel and type, and MAC address. You can also connect via WiFi to any authorized Internet access point to transmit data, configure your meter, or access other functions to improve your productivity.

AMT introduces Hitachi RFoG Solution Designed as a targeted FTTP solution for cable TV operators, the Hitachi Node+ZeroTM module is compatible with the emerging SCTE RFoG (RF Over Glass) initiative. This allows CATV operators to leverage existing headend equipment and ultimately migrate to FTTP (GEPON or GPON). The Node + Zero RFoG module modulates the return path signal from any RF set top box or DOCSIS cable modem into fiber at either 1310nm, 1590nm or 1610nm.

XFTP by Trilithic continues the Leakage Standard Control system leakage, perform government-mandated proof-of-performance tests and identify the small leaks with the leakage standard for more than 20 years.
Trilithic’s Super Plusâ„¢ has a high immunity to “false alarms,” perfect for identifying leaks in noisy or overbuilt areas in coordination with tagging technology.
Likewise, the Searcher Plus GTâ„¢ includes these leakage standards without the use of a tagged leakage test signal, specifically for systems employing digital set top terminals.
