Accedian Networks has updated its high performance service assurance platform for its MetroNID and MetroNODE 10GE demarcation units.
Release 5.1 enhances the synchronization and clock distribution capabilities of the NIDs, including support for new GPS and synchronous Ethernet options in the MetroNID demarcation devices.
The synchronous Ethernet option enables the deployment of the MetroNID with synchronous Ethernet-enabled equipment to distribute synchronization and timing information across the network.
Both synchronization options increase the accuracy of the performance measurements, providing guaranteed 1 microsecond precision on one-way delay measurements.
