EXFO

EXFO is a leading provider of next-generation test and service assurance solutions for wireless and wireline network operators and equipment manufacturers in the global telecom industry. The company offers innovative solutions for the development, installation, management and maintenance of converged, IP fixed and mobile networks.

The unrelenting convergence of technology across access, metro and core networks is challenging network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) to rapidly build affordable, flexible and scalable solutions that deliver the functionality needed by network service providers (NSPs) and address the growing demand for more bandwidth.

To meet the challenge of supporting the ever-growing demand for IP services that consume huge amounts of bandwidth, system manufacturers are continuing to invest in next-generation packet-based network elements that can adapt to a wide range of client services and scale to higher bandwidths, while reducing costs and optimizing bandwidth management.

The process of upgrading network backbones and metro rings, first to 40G and 100G, and also to 400G and beyond, has begun. And while these upgrades provide much needed network capacity, they also challenge system manufacturers to deliver solutions without compromising quality and reliability.

EXFO’s portfolio of NEM solutions directly addresses these needs. Delivering rigorous and reliable testing capabilities, EXFO provides advanced qualification at all development (lab) and deployment (field) stages, including high-speed phase modulation capabilities and integrated legacy and next-gen IP/Ethernet packet service testing solutions.
