Portable 100G Network and Optical Transport Field Testing
The Anritsu MT1000A Network Master Pro is a compact, battery-powered field test platform for installation, commissioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting of Ethernet and optical transport networks operating at rates up to 100 Gbps.
The modular MT1000A platform can be configured for Ethernet, OTN, eCPRI/RoE, CPRI, Fibre Channel, SDH/SONET, network synchronization, and optical-fiber measurements. Transport modules support network testing from legacy and low-rate interfaces through 100G, while optional OTDR modules add fiber fault location and optical installation verification to the same portable platform.
