Optical Network Tester (ONT)

The VIAVI Lab & Production tools help bring products to market faster, without compromising quality.

The VIAVI ONT Product Family supports testing and verification for new high-speed network elements across a wide range of technologies and scenarios. Our test platforms help manufacturers scale to meet the growth demands of network-driven services, while accounting for ever-evolving technology.

Products

All application modules share the same GUI and identical automation and scripting, so that they can be used throughout the product development cycles.

  • Detailed hardware level testing with unframed and protocol based traffic.
  • 25G, 50G, 100G and 400G Optical Modules validation: electrical lanes stressing (clock offset variation, TX pre-emphasis and RX equalization manipulation, dynamic skew) per IEEE standards, MDIO/I2C management interface verification (peek/poke, HW pins control, MDIO/I2C Dump)
  • Support for OTN, Ethernet, Fibre Channel, CPRI, and SONET/SDH
  • Qualify PTP (IEEE 1588) implementations in optical networks and equipment
  • Full service disruption and latency measurements for all supported technologies
  • Equipment Manufacturers: Support for R&D, SVT (system verification/test), and production environments covering the entire product life cycle
  • Service Providers: Conduct product qualification and benchmark testing before deployments and bring to the field for first office applications (FOA)
  • Data Centers: Fully verify data center interconnect elements and long-haul transmission elements for quality and performance and fully stress and verify pluggable optics including active optical cables.

  • Multiple mainframe options including rackmount, desktop, and modules with built-in display for mobile test needs.
  • Supports testing of all major transport technologies for equipment manufacturers, service providers, and data centers
  • OTN: up to OTU4 with ODU Muxing down to ODU0; ODUflex, ODU multichannel, and FlexO
  • Ethernet: Gigabit Ethernet up to 400 GE and FlexE fully supported with full stress/margin analysis
  • SDH/SONET: 155 Mbps up to 40G
  • Fibre Channel: 1/2/4/8/10/16G FC
  • CPRI unframed and framed testing: CPRI line bit rate option 1 (614.40 Mbps) up to option 9 (12.165 Gbps)
  • Most accurate latency and service disruptions measurements for OTN, Ethernet, CPRI, Fibre Channel, and SONET/SDH
  • Browser-oriented graphical user interface (GUI)
  • Full multitasking operation
  • Full automation support via CLI or with drivers and libraries for LabWindows CVI, LabView, Python and Tcl/Tk
