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.

  • Benefits

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

  • Applications
    • 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.
  • Key Features
    • 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
