Seizing the Carrier Ethernet Opportunity:
Leveraging New Service Activation Testing Standards and Automated Service Assurance

The increasing demand for Ethernet services, particularly from enterprises, is great news for service providers, but it comes with demands for better service quality and faster responsiveness to service change requests. Delivering on these demands can be challenging, especially for service providers that rely on labor-intensive testing processes for service activation testing (SAT).

Visionworks faces the challenges of helping activating Ethernet and IP services, and show how new standards ensure thorough and accurate activation and benchmarking of services. The evolution of SAT for Ethernet and IP Services, the similarities and differences of Ethernet and IP SAT and how the migration to network functions virtualization (NFV) will increase the importance of SAT. Visionworks for SAT, troubleshooting and performance monitoring.
