ANT-5

SDH Access Tester STM-1/-4 ATM

The ANT-5 rises to the challenge

The rugged, battery-powered, lightweight Acterna ANT-5 SDH Access Tester contains all the

powerful features and functions that technicians need to test a range of SDH/SONET/PDH and

ATM digital links both onsite and from a remote location.

Highlights

- Smallest and lightest test solution for DS1/E1 to 622 Mbps testing at 1310 nm and 1550 nm

- Optical layer testing at dual wavelengths at STM-1/OC-3 and STM-4/OC-12 and electrical testing    at DS1/E1/E3/DS3/E4 interfaces

- Full analysis of concatenated mappings with SDH/SONET signals VC-4-4C/OC-12C

- In depth PDH analysis with Sabit generation and flexible MUX/DEMUX test configuration

- ATM analysis for service verification of ATM and 3G/UMTS networks testing new ATM  services     carried over PDH, SDH/SONET

Easiest handle to learn and use

Access technicians need a tester that can simplify their key tasks without extensive training.

With its large color screen, graphical user interface, and ergonomic keypad, the ANT-5 is the

easiest to learn and use handheld on the market. Other features include:
