Industry-First Measurements for IEEE 1588v2 Transparent/Boundary Clocks, which Speed Timing-over-Packet Rollout, Unveiled at ISPCS Plug-fest

Agilent Technologies has demonstrated its new N2X IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) test solution that enables network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) and network operators to ensure that time-critical Carrier and Industrial Ethernet applications are synchronized. Agilent will present a white paper about this technology at the event's conference.

Agilent Offers First-to-Market Synchronization Solution to Ensure Service Quality for Ethernet Networks; Tools to Simulate, Test Ethernet Operations, Maintenance

Agilent Technologies has announced it will provide significant test and monitoring support to the world's leading network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) here demonstrating that their Carrier Ethernet equipment can successfully interoperate.

Ethernet was originally developed for academic environments and local area networks, not for telecom transport, and consequently it lacked critical components such as a synchronization mechanism, as well as Operations, Administration and Maintenance functionality. By testing the Ethernet Synchronization Messaging Channel (ESMC) protocol against switching products in wireless backhaul applications, Agilent's first-to-market solution helps NEMs and service providers build networks that are in synch and ensure that base-station handoffs are successful. The solution also helps to build networks that drop fewer calls and keep subscribers happy as they roam from location to location. Agilent will also be conducting Operations, Administrations and Maintenance (OAM) systems testing, and using devices to simulate real network traffic.
