Fluke Networks announced today the MetroScope-LT, its latest carrier Ethernet analyser that provides the functionality of high-end test equipment to field technicians of all skill levels. With carrier Ethernet deployments growing by 30% each year, the MetroScope-LT analyser and its ProVision test suite offers service providers a test solution that can be deployed affordably to a larger number of field technicians.
“As the availability and use of carrier Ethernet lines continue to rise, it has become necessary for service providers to effectively yet economically test and troubleshoot in order to promote widespread adoption,” said Mark Mullins, carrier Ethernet marketing manager at Fluke Networks.
“To meet this rising demand, we designed the MetroScope-LT to test and troubleshoot nearly all carrier Ethernet service requests without the need for extensive and costly training or tools.”
The MetroScope-LT provides the functions needed to test the vast majority of carrier Ethernet service requests, using a simplified user interface for technicians who may be just beginning to work with carrier Ethernet.
MetroScope-LT is the only low-cost device on the market to offer Web remote control so field technicians can engage with engineers remotely for assistance.
The MetroScope-LT, like the MetroScope carrier Ethernet analyser, uses Fluke Networks ProVision to run four tests (throughput, loss, latency and jitter) in parallel to more rapid and accurate test circuits. This four-test ProVision test package also allows technicians to capture trending results on all four measurements for up to 24 hours, providing technicians with an easy means of identifying intermittent problems.
Product availability: The MetroScope-LT Service Provider Assistant with the ProVision test suite is available for order and delivery through Fluke Networks' carrier sales channels worldwide. More details can be found at http://www.flukenetworks.com/MetroScope.
