SONET/SDH
Growth in data communications has driven network service providers and their equipment suppliers to deploy faster variants of the SONET Standard in their networks. This has driven the need for faster and more accurate test equipment to measure timing jitter and confirm compliance with updated SONET standards. Tektronix Ultra Performance oscilloscopes provide PHY Layer SONET Standards verification up to 40 Gb/sec (OC-768).
