NetQuest, a manufacturer of test and monitoring access solutions, announced the launch of the first 10-Gigabit access tool for high-speed packet-over-SONET/SDH (PoS) networks. The new P-Series OptiCop 10G Converger can translate 10G PoS traffic into Ethernet traffic to enable service providers to take advantage of their existing GbE and 10GbE tool investments and enable test and monitoring access across any network topology. Moreover, its out-of-band broadband monitoring access lets service providers optimize tool port usage without degrading the service or distorting the results.
