The new tri-speed module will be available for both Xena's large (4U) 12-module XenaBay chassis, as well as the small (1U) single-module XenaCompact chassis. This is augmented with 40/100G-specificįeatures such as virtual lane swapping, skewing and PRBS testing. Like Xena's existing range of gigabit Ethernet test modules, the new tri-speed modules provide a comprehensive suite of test features for Layer 2 and Layer 3, including protocol testing, capture, histograms, service disruption measurements, multi-stream Ethernet generation & test and RFC 2544 benchmarking. 'So in this transition phase, having one test module that can handle the three top speeds makes life easier for test engineers, while also keeping the accounting department happy.' 'Right now most of our customers are deploying 10G to meet bandwidth demand while examining how to re-equip their networks to cost-effectively support 100 Gigabit Ethernet',Įxplains Jacob Nielsen, CEO of Xena Networks. The ratification of the standard by both the IEEE and ITU-T in June last year.

The new module is aimed at the rapidly increasing number of carriers, enterprises and research departments currently ramping up to deploy 100 Gigabit Ethernet following Spirent High-Speed Ethernet (HSE) 800G, 400G, 200G, 100G, 50G, 40G, 25G, and 10G test solutions help launch products and services dependent on emerging high-speed and high-density technologies quickly and with confidence, while ensuring a reliable, high-quality user experience. New tri-speed module targets carriers and enterprises migrating to 100Gig-E solutionsĬopenhagen: Xena Networks, an innovative developer of gigabit Ethernet test solutions based in Denmark, recently announced the general availability of the world's first tri-speed 10-40-100 Gbps Ethernet Test Module.
