The hot topic for network operators is the rollout of 3G/UMTS services. Trend is already helping 3G Operators, Installers and Suppliers with Aurora Forte, the best equipment for this operation.

IMA Interface

The test capability of Aurora Forte is unrivalled with its ability to test a wide range of interfaces from T1/E1 up to OC12/STM4. And now, the new interface for IMA enhances the support for 3G deployment and remote DSLAMs. The depth of test functions is also impressive; traditional physical layer tests such as network framing and BERT, ATM layer test such as ATM BERT, QoS/O.191 and multi VCC load testing, and procedures for IP Ping over ATM, OAM/I.610, SLA policing and SVC Signalling.
