Combines PMD and CD measurements into a highly automated, high-efficiency, single-ended test solution. New Market Reality Requires a New Chromatic and Polarization Mode Dispersion Testing Approach The high-speed networking market hafs been trying to reconcile two conflicting objectives: deliver the faster data rates10G, 40G and 100Gdemanded by subscribers, and keep OPEX down to maintain profitability. Most network operators are well on their way to achieving the first objective, thanks to new fiber deployments and new technology advances such as coherent detection, DPSK/DQPSK and ROADM-based mesh networks. However, the additional field workinstallation, activation as well as the greater dispersion granularity now requiredcan push operation expenses in the wrong direction. These new requirements force operators to retain the services of more field crews, potentially reducing the average expertise level of technicians and increasing the rate of repeat jobs. In a nutshell, network operators must absorb more CAPEX to equip their additional technicians, and even more importantly, they must absorb more truck rolls and OPEX.
