Advanced, cost-effective SONET/SDH testing with optional OTN and ATM

The SSA 1220 is the industry’s most cost effective SONET/SDH testing solution with optional OTN and ATM testing plus drop-insert to PDH/T-Carrier rates.

In the light and compact NIC chassis or battery-powered NIC BP, the SSA 1220 provides a fully featured SONET/SDH/OTN/ATM test solution and with additional module can provide PDH/T-Carrier test with drop/insert capabilities or Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA).

In the larger 5-slot NIC Plus or NIC EP chassis, numerous configurations are available to provide the exact test solution needed. For example, a single NIC Plus or NIC EP chassis can be equipped with five SSA 1220 modules for multi-port/simultaneous testing. Other configurations include the 40/43Gbps test module, OSA, High-Density Ethernet or other modules.
