About the T-BERD ⁄ MTS 5800
The T-BERD ⁄ MTS 5800 family of testers is designed to be a
rugged, portable, battery-operated test solution that facilitates
the quick turn-up and troubleshooting of multiple services and
network elements in the Metro and Core network. This allows
providers who are expanding their offerings into new data and
wavelength services to deploy a single technician to install
and maintain new elements and services using one integrated
instrument.
It is an all-in-one test solution for the following networks:
– T-Carrier (DS1 and DS3)
– PDH (E1 through E4)
– SONET (STS-1 through OC-192)
– SDH (STM-1e through STM-64)
– Ethernet (10/100/1000, 100 M Optical, 1 Gigabit Optical,
10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN and WAN)
– IP (10/100/1000, 100 M Optical, 1 Gigabit Optical,
10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN and WAN)
– TCP/UDP (10/100/1000, 100 M Optical, 1 Gigabit Optical,
and10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN)
