AddOn Networks has launched a testing solution to detect problems within optical fibers. The company's EON-NSV-OTDR optical time domain reflectometer is designed to locate and report any faults in an optical fiber link of a communication network and address the root cause of any issues.

The EON-NSV-OTDR solution is designed to be configured to provide real-time monitoring of jitter and latency. In addition to enabling OTDR testing of the underlying optical circuit, the new OTDR is also designed to test the layer-2 and layer-3 services that may be running over it. It also includes custom hardware for the generation of test traffic, loop-back and analysis.

"In our role as a trusted partner in the networking ecosystem, we are constantly seeking out ways to add compelling value to our ever-growing portfolio of optical solutions," said AddOn's CTO Patrick Beard. "Our customers need assurance that their networks are offering stable, secure, uninterrupted connectivity and data security - and our EON-NSV-OTDR solution provides the peace of mind they are seeking."
