With four free slots, the Acterna ANT-20se Advanced Network Tester has the most unique feature allowing for the combination and parallel function of all bit rates up to STM-16/OC-48 with jitter and wander up to 2.5 Gbps and ATM in a single unit. Highlights

• Multi-rate transmission testing from DS1 to OC-192c and E1 to STM-64c.
• Modular platform offering SONET, DSn, SDH, and ATM capabilities.
• Large color touch screen display.
• Intuitive, easy-to-use user interface.
• Flexible integration into lab or manufacturing test environments.
• Modular hardware and software concept.
• Portable mainframe.

Applications
BERT and Performance testing - Test for DSn, PDH, SONET, and SDH signals support of bit error rate test for all standard bit rates along with performance tests according to the latest ITU-T Recommendations. Jitter and Wander analysis - Generation and analysis of jitter and wander for bit rates from 1.5 Mbps to 10 Gbps fully compliant to ITU-T Recommendation O.172. Analysis of Tandem Connection Monitorig (TCM) - Verifies the proper implementation of TCM in your SDH network. Comprehensive ATM testing - Tests ATM networks for correct operation and Quality of Service (QoS). Depending on the application, the ANT-20 has test solutions for permanent virtual circuits (PVC) and switched virtual circuits (SVC). Test Automation - Time and cost savings through automation. The CATS test sequencer is test automation software designed to run on the ANT-20's built-in PC. It is the ideal tool for automating repeat test procedures. Remote operation - Due to the Microsoft Windows-based design, the same software can be run on both the ANT-20 and on a laptop or PC, enabling complicated and time-consuming tests to be carried out remotely.
