Research and Markets: Bit Error Rate Testers (BERT) Are Gaining Increasing Prominence in Telecommunication Applications.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/463bf5/world_bit_error_ra) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "World Bit Error Rate Testers (BERT (Bit Error Rate Test) An analysis of network transmission efficiency that computes the percentage of bits received in error from the total number sent. ) Markets" to their offering. The world bit error rate testers (BERT) market study is designed to provide an overview of the market while presenting in-depth analysis of the segments that make up the market - traditional and functional BERT. The study discusses technology trends, end-users and various geographies, enabling vendors operating in this space to get a detailed insight into individual market segments. Revenue forecasts are provided from 2004 to 2014. Telecommunication telecommunication Communication between parties at a distance from one another. Modern telecommunication systems—capable of transmitting telephone, fax, data, radio, or television signals—can transmit large volumes of information over long distances. Applications Drive Demand for BERTs: Bit error rate testers (BERT) are gaining increasing prominence in telecommunication applications where protocols are required to achieve specific error rates in order to yield meaningful test results. Most protocols require a BER (1) (Basic Encoding Rules) A set of encoding rules for ASN.1 notation, which is a method for defining data structures. See ASN.1. (2) (Bit Error Rate) The average number of bits transmitted in error. See BERT. 1. of 10 to the power of minus 6, using long pseudorandom binary sequences A binary sequence (BS) is a sequence of  bits,
PRBS Pseudo Random Bit Sequence PRBS Pseudorandom Bit Stream (Hekimian) PRBS Probability Random Bit Sequence PRBS Pseudo Random Bit Stream patterns. In order to achieve these BER levels, the transmission of bits should exceed the minimum number required within a particular pattern. Performing such a test with a reliable BERT ensures an increased confidence interval confidence interval, n a statistical device used to determine the range within which an acceptable datum would fall. Confidence intervals are usually expressed in percentages, typically 95% or 99%. for possible error occurrences. However, the need to align align (  līn),v to move the teeth into their proper positions to conform to the line of occlusion. with the standards set forth by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Not to be confused with the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE). The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or IEEE (pronounced as eye-triple-e (IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. ) remains a major challenge for BERT vendors. "Technological evolution and the emergence of new standards for transferring data have meant that manufacturers are under constant pressure to increase the functionality and performance of BERTs," notes the analyst of this research service. "Of particular interest to manufacturers is the eventual emergence of 100 gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. (100 GbE), which is likely to bring about a new set of standards that BERT vendors must address in their product offerings." Emergence of New Technologies and Data Rates Increases Demand for High-speed BERTs: With the emergence of new technologies and data rates (such as 8-gigabit Fiber Channel and the deployment of 40 and 100 GbE networks), it is imperative that end users purchase BERTs that feature the capabilities necessary to perform the desired test processes. This rapid emergence of new serial data rates will continue to provide growth for high-speed BERTs, since they generate a myriad of new test needs that many previous BERTs are not capable of fulfilling. Such functionalities include newer stress eye tests with updated optical transceivers, as well as closed-eye environment test capabilities, which involve technicians' utilization of pre-emphasis and equalization In communications, techniques used to reduce distortion and compensate for signal loss (attenuation) over long distances. in successfully transmitting data. In 2007, the traditional BERT market accounted for approximately 63.7 percent of the world bit error rate testers market revenues. However, the contribution of this segment is likely to slowly decline due to the wider adoption of functional BERTs by technicians that will need to turn up Ethernet services in the field, particularly once 40 and 100 gigabit networks become more prominent. "Overall, although the demand for BERT equipment has been increasing in recent years, it is not expected to grow considerably until after the full deployment of 40GbE and 100GbE networks," says the analyst. "While there have been some 40GbE networks under deployment (as seen with some service providers such as Verizon), the overall adoption rate of such networks has been slow."
