Acterna ANT-5

SDH Access Tester up to STM-16

The access network explosion

The modern communications market is challenging network operators in new ways. Because growth from traditional voice services has declined, operators must find new ways to carry more data traffic in order to maintain their revenue stream. However, bandwidth bottlenecks in the access and metro networks have prevented many new high-speed, high-bandwidth services from being deployed. Field technicians, who are tasked with installing and maintaining these networks, must learn how to test a wide variety of technologies while they strive to reach new levels of productivity. To perform these tasks, technicians need an increased amount of equipment and additional training to operate each device effectively.

In addition, operators must be able to manage the conflicting demands of technicians, who need the proper equipment and training to do their jobs, and executives, who are keeping close control on capital expenses and operating costs.

The ANT-5 rises to the challenge

Acterna can help meet this challenge with the Acterna ANT-5 SDH Access Tester. Designed for field operations, the small, rugged, battery-powered ANT-5 streamlines installation and maintenance testing. Its advanced features and automated functions enable technicians to perform tests quickly and effectively. And with SDH, PDH, SONET, and ATM combined into a single compact unit, capital investment and training expenses are reduced, minimizing business costs.

The portable solution

The ANT-5s compact, robust design is ideal for field and central office applications. The convenient, built-in stand and comfortable carry strap enable hands-free testing in any location. And its extended battery life means testing can be undertaken even when AC power is not on hand. Optional carry cases protect the ANT-5 when technicians travel between sites and provide a safe and convenient place for storing cables and accessories.

Easiest handheld 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: Labelled LEDs that show current and historical alarms OK results summary and pass/fail results screen displays Autosave of test results Fast store and recall of key network configurations Automatic tests Access technicians tool of choice The ANT-5 provides all the transmission test functions required in todays access network: Optical power measurement Bit error rate testing G.821, G.826, G.828, G.829, ANSI, M.2100, M.2101 analysis Received signal offset measurement Transmit signal offset and generation Tabular and graphical event recording

Extensive SDH/SONET features

The ANT-5 is packed with SDH and SONET test features covering all the installation and maintenance tasks up to 2.5 Gbps: STM-1e/STS-3 interface STM-1/OC-3 to STM-16/OC-48 optical ports 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths Autoconfiguration Anomaly and defect generation and analysis APS/service disruption measurement Round Trip Delay measurements (RTD) SOH and POH generation and analysis (HEX or cleartext format) Path trace generation and analysis Tandem connection monitoring (TCM) Automatic tributary scanning Pointer generation and analysis K-Byte capture

Full PDH support

From 1.5 Mbps to 140 Mbps including Nx64 Kbps, the ANT-5 can test all PDH tributaries and legacy PDH hierarchy transmission systems using high-level functions that include E1 Sa bit generation and display.

Simple test and results management

Thanks to its built-in Ethernet port, CompactFlash memory card port, and printer port, the ANT-5 can integrate more effectively and more simply with day-to-day operations. Export standard test setups to other ANT-5s or PCs via the CompactFlash card Exchange results over LANs using Windows-based PCs Print test reports

Flexible, cost-effective platform

The ANT-5s flexible design enables it to be adapted quickly to operators changing requirements. And its field upgradeable capability, provided by the CompactFlash port, enables technicians in the field to install software in minutes. Hardware upgrades can be purchased to add optical bandwidths or wavelengths. This protects the initial investment and reduces additional training expenses while allowing operators to match capital expenditures to network rollout plans. This Acterna offering is an industryleading access tester that sets new standards for portability, ease of use, and adaptability. The ANT-5 is the ideal device for field technicians who need to test a range of SDH, PDH, SONET, and ATM digital links both on site and from a remote location. As a result, the ANT-5 provides a significant advantage for companies that wish to optimize quality of service using a costeffective, industry-proven solution.

ATM service verification

UMTS network rollout and ADSL growth is increasing the use of ATM in the access network. The ANT-5 enables the installation and maintenance of ATM carried over PDH, SDH, and SONET networks that include: DS1, STS-1 SPE, DS3 E1, E3 (G.832), E4 VC-4/STS-3c SPE VC-4-4c/STS-12c SPE PVC cells can be generated over UNI and NNI with CBR and VBR traffic load profiles up to STM-4c rates. Service quality can be checked using BER or O.191 measurements. Link and channel performance can be monitored while traffic statistics are recorded. Channel Explorer scans automatically for active VCI/VPI and displays the result in tabular form.

Advanced remote testing capability

The ANT-5 provides out-of-the-box remote testing capability over Ethernet. As a result, technicians can poll instruments remotely from their offices, simplifying long-term commissioning and maintenance tests and dramatically reducing travel time and costs. Test results can be saved to any network hard disk or printed from any network printer for convenient analysis.
