The hot topic for network operators is the rollout of 3G/UMTS services. Trend is already helping 3G Operators, Installers and Suppliers with Aurora Forte, the best equipment for this operation.
The Aurora Forte provides comprehensive test capabilities for the installation, operation and maintenance of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks.
Applications
- 3G/UMTS roll out and maintenance
- ADSL installation and monitoring, between Forte and Presto
- ATM BERT for error performance test of cellstream or entire link
- IP layer testing to prove configuration and routing with IP ping
- Higher layers decoding
- Remote Operation enables you to install Aurora Forte at a remote site and control it from your PC from anywhere in the World. Remote Operation can also be used for experts to provide assistance to field staff.
- File Manager for tester config control and result reporting using easy PC utility
Benefits
- Completely portable
- Graphical window display is quick to learn and use
- E1, E3, DS1, DS3, OC3/STM1, OC12/STM4 interfaces
- 8 port IMA interface
- Use to check correct installation and operation of physical circuits
- Multi VCC transmission verification with end to end test or with traffic monitor
- Use Traffic Policing to verify or enforce traffic contract
- Measure circuit Quality of Service (O.191) to verify SLA
The test capability of Aurora Forte is unrivalled with its ability to test a wide range of interfaces from T1/E1 up to OC12/STM4. And now, the new interface for IMA enhances the support for 3G deployment and remote DSLAMs. The depth of test functions is also impressive; traditional physical layer tests such as network framing and BERT, ATM layer test such as ATM BERT, QoS/O.191 and multi VCC load testing, and procedures for IP Ping over ATM, OAM/I.610, SLA policing and SVC Signalling.
Interoperatibility Assurance
Trend Communications is a member of the University of New Hampshire's ATM InterOperability Lab. This consortium is made up of a number of major ATM equipment vendors committed to verifying the reliable interoperability of their products. Aurora Forte has proven full compatibility of the SVC function against these vendors switches at the labs facility.
