Smart Productivity Test Platform

April 9, 2013

Sunrise Telecom added OAM (operations, administration and management) and MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) capabilities to its RxT Smart Productivity test platform. Integrated into the RxT 10GE module, the features enable service providers to efficiently deploy and maintain advanced Carrier Ethernet services such as LTE, IPTV and mobile backhaul. The OAM features include connectivity check messages, Ethernet loopback and link trace generation and analysis. For testing cell site Ethernet backhaul and Ethernet business services, the module supports CFM testing based on IEEE 802.1ag and ITU Y.1731 standards. It also features testing of MPLS-TP services, an emerging Layer 2 transport technology, to verify that MPLS-TP services are properly configured for end-to-end OAM. Customer and control plane data verification is seamlessly included in the module, which means MPLS-TP and SLA verification can be determined simultaneously, increasing the efficiency of installation and network troubleshooting. www.sunrisetelecom.com
