Today’s communications networks for voice and data are converging onto a single infrastructure designed to both reduce costs and enable new services like video, gaming and conferencing. These networks are based on multifunction networking elements that are significantly more complicated to test. Furthermore, the proliferation of new services is increasing the diversity and complexity of deployed network architectures. The MPLS/IP core is being upgraded to achieve high reliability and availability at even higher bandwidths including 40Gb/s. Multi-service platforms are implementing latest Next Generation Sonet/SDH protocols to deliver a more robust and efficient means for triple-play service traffic throughput. The broadband access network must now differentiate from best-effort and real-time traffic, incorporate multicast technology mechanisms whilst also delivering greater bandwidth past the last mile.
The Agilent N2X addresses the complex converging infrastructure challenges challenges by providing a single test environment to simultaneously validate leading edge services over the latest infrastructures. N2X provides industry leading solutions for the IP/MPLS core and edge, Next generation transport and broadband access networks.
