Avantas Networks Introduces the Packet Blazer: Industry's First Combined SONET/SDH and Ethernet Testing Solution.Business/Hi-Tech Editors Networld+Interop 2001 LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2001 Avantas Networks, a leading developer of Next Generation Telecom/Datacom test instrumentation instrumentation, in music: see orchestra and orchestration. instrumentation In technology, the development and use of precise measuring, analysis, and control equipment. will be introducing the Packet Blazer(TM) in booth 9525 at Networld+Interop in Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. . This makes the STG stg abbr (= sterling) → ester (TM) Series family of products, the industry's first combined SONET/SDH and Ethernet Ethernet Telecommunications networking protocol introduced by Xerox Corp. in 1979. It was developed as an inexpensive way of sending information quickly between office machines connected together in a single room or building, but it rapidly became a standard computer testing solution. Packet Blazer, combined with Avantas Networks' handheld STG Series or Network Guardian(TM) family of products provides both TDM/SONET/SDH and Ethernet services testing on the same platform, thus allowing Next Generation carriers to verify (1) To prove the correctness of data. (2) In data entry operations, to compare the keystrokes of a second operator with the data entered by the first operator to ensure that the data were typed in accurately. See validate. their Service Level Agreements whether using traditional telecom interfaces or native Ethernet interfaces. "Prior to the introduction of the Packet Blazer, no handheld test gear was capable of simultaneous traffic generation & capture at 100% wire-speed for 100Mbps networks. Currently, carriers are turning-up Ethernet services without thoroughly assuring the Quality of Service they are providing before delivering the service to their customers. The verification of fundamental parameters such as Sustainable-Throughput, Burst-Ability and Latency (1) The time between initiating a request in the computer and receiving the answer. Data latency may refer to the time between a query and the results arriving at the screen or the time between initiating a transaction that modifies one or more databases and its completion. is neglected, thus resulting in poor performance and customer complaints. Packet Blazer(TM) addresses this situation by providing a cost effective, yet powerful solution in a field oriented o·ri·ent n. 1. Orient The countries of Asia, especially of eastern Asia. 2. a.
