Company’s Ethernet One solution has been chosen by a tier-one network operator.
EXFO recently announced it received an order “worth approximately U.S.$2 million from a global tier-1 mobile network operator for the complete assessment of its mobile-backhaul network infrastructure, from turn-up to real-time monitoring and advanced troubleshooting.” The company said its Ethernet One solution, including BrixNGN service assurance software, BV-3100 Verifiers, and FTB-1 field-portable platforms, was awarded the order “based on its ability to meet enhanced service performance delivery, increased operational efficiency, and accelerated time-to-revenue requirements of the global network operator.”
