reliable, high-performance FPGA-based alternative to expensive high-end laptops oſten used for enterprise speed tests. With its multi- test port architecture, with four 1GE, one 2.5GE test and 4Gb/s full line rate capability, the NET- BOX can truly test the limits of the service being provisioned, verify QoS and assure QoE for the ever-growing speed limits of gigabit internet services beyond 1Gb/s.

Plug and play solutions are also making their way into the FTTH access market, with collaboration the order of the day. As an example, Emtelle, HellermannTyton and Senko Advanced Components teamed up to launch the FibreTap pre-connectorised plug-and-play solution, designed for overhead and underground use. It is non-splice, which means that
installation speed is reduced and time is saved at the customer drop, through its plug- and-play connection method. It is designed so that minimal training is required to install, and maximum opportunity is offered for high- quality fibre connections. Te ruggedised design ensures optimum protection of the cable and connection. Te companies kept the project under
Tom Cloonan, CommScope chief technologist for network solutions in the company’s Office of the CTO believes that ‘2020 is about efficiency and simplicity’. He said that there will be significant changes to architectures over time. With this in mind, the company launched
three new products to improve network scale, speed and latency. Each will become elements of the company’s Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) and 10G portolios. Te DAA Aggregator scalable new
architecture extends fibre deeper into the network, lowers total cost of ownership, and requires relatively minor changes to existing fibre deep networks. Te change significantly increases the number of homes passed per RPD serving group – from 20 to 40 to between 150 to 300 – enabling deeper reach into neighbourhoods and a simplified path to network upgrades. Te Extended Soſt FDD is a combination of
soſtware-only Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Extended Spectrum DOCSIS® (ESD) to help push network interface speeds beyond 1.2GHz, and is already being hailed as a preliminary flavour of DOCSIS 4.0. Last but not least is the DOCSIS timing
protocol. Tis offers precise timing distribution over the DOCSIS network, which is imperative for time-critical processing and applications, where a fraction of a second means the difference between success and failure. Current and future applications include mobile backhaul, virtual reality and autonomous vehicle control.

wraps while work was under way on designing and testing the solution, to ensure it offers maximum benefit to operators. Speaking at the launch event, Emtelle CEO Tony Rodgers said: ‘We have been working on this for the last six months. It has been tested and developed to meet all the standards for the global market.’ Emtelle provided the pre-connectorised
5/2mm and 6/3.2mm universal drop cable with 2-8 G657A2 fibres pre-installed, while
HellermannTyton provided a specially designed Optical Network Terminator (ONT) closure, as well as a new IP68-rated fibre plug- and-play adapter block for pole or chamber installations. Senko provided an LC blown fibre type
connector, a mechanical splice alternative solution for the ONT, as well as a bespoke version of its compact IP connector for plug- and-play solutions. Together, the contributions create FibreTap.
