JDSU introduced a new jitter feature for the its Optical Network Testers, which should help measure reliability in cellular backhaul networks.
The new JDSU ONT jitter solution – for the ONT-503, -506 and -512 testers – helps characterize both the jitter and wander performance of 10GE Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) circuits so that timing and synchronization functions can be maintained without signal degradation or network performance problems.
These capabilities help to ensure reliable signal and network performance of mobile backhaul networks for the delivery of high-quality bandwidth-intensive services such as video.
JDSU claims this is the only jitter analysis solution able to conduct both jitter and wander measurements on SyncE devices and systems.
“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.”
The company said it is also working in International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication (ITU-T) study groups to standardize different aspects of SyncE jitter and wander testing.
