Business Case for Remote Ethernet Testing Introduction As revenues from traditional circuit-switched voice lines steadily decrease service providers recognize that Ethernet access and related services represent the future. As a result they are shifting investment away from legacy data services such as ATM or Frame Relay and towards flexible Ethernet access solutions. But service providers face a variety of technical challenges when deploying Ethernet networks and these issues can cause significant increases in operational expenses. In particular Ethernet commissioning and maintenance have been expensive endeavors compared to traditional alternatives. A lack of deployed remote test solutions frequently results in on-location troubleshooting and maintenance. This time-consuming activity adds up to high support costs. The recent ratification of the IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet in the First Mile EFM testing standard offers significant opportunities for service providers to reduce operational expenses and more quickly deploy Ethernet services. Test solutions based on the 802.3ah guidelines address all of the key challenges commonly encountered with Ethernet service deployment reliability performance Quality of Service QoS SLA assurance and network troubleshooting. To address these critical issues ADC and EXFO have created a two-component 802.3ah-compliant remote testing solution using the ADC Ethernet Network Interface Unit ENIU and EXFO s Packet Blazer Gigabit Ethernet tester. Remote testing using the solution from ADC and EXFO results in significant financial benefits for service providers network downtime is significantly reduced Service Level Agreements SLAs are assured and customer retention is increased.
