RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 20, 2000

ANT-10Gig Will Support Lucent's Worldwide Optical Deployment Efforts

Wavetek Wandel Goltermann (WWG), a global leader in the manufacture of fiber optic test and analysis equipment and systems, announces a $7.2 million purchase agreement with Lucent Technologies, a leading designer, developer and manufacturer of communications systems, software and products.

Under terms of the agreement, WWG will supply Lucent with ANT-10Gig Advanced Network Testers, the world's first field-tester for OC-192 and STM-64. Lucent will use the ANT-10Gig to support worldwide deployment of its WaveStar(TM) OLS 400G DWDM system.

"The need for core transport of high-speed, highly-reliable private circuits, gigabit LAN interconnect and high-speed IP Router networking, along with the desire for wavelength-based services that allow larger carriers to resell or wholesale wavelengths are all symptoms of the emerging trend of bandwidth as independent commodity," says Kevin Gribbon, Market Development Manager for WWG's North American Sales Company. "With its WaveStar ONE initiative, Lucent Technologies can offer a solution for all of these situations. With WWG's ANT-10Gig tester for OC-192 and STM-64 in support of its optical deployment activities, Lucent can provide its customers with network viability and reliability on a continual, long-term basis."

The ANT-10Gig provides a portable test solution for high-speed transport networks. It offers access to all standard interfaces from 1.5 / 2 Mbit/s up to 10 Gbit/s and can support multiple signal structures up to the OC-192 / STM-64 level and their analysis down to 64 Kbit/s. This newest member of the well-regarded ANT-20 family of bit error testers also offers access to mixed structures such as DS1 in STM-1 or E1 in STS-1. In addition, the product features the benefits of a Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) user interface with a large 10.4" touch screen and a professional printout facility.

The ANT-10Gig is equipped to test the functions and capabilities of SDH and SONET line interfaces as well as PDH tributary interface specifications, including bit error tests, clock offset and optical parameters. Also, functional testing to verify that PDH tributary signals are carried through the network, switched in network elements and delivered uncorrupted to their destination are also possible. Other test applications include alarm sensor tests, path trace monitoring, SAPS and DWDM testing.
