Lightweight handheld test solution for Metro Ethernet and IP services

The SunLite GigE is a rugged, compact and lightweight handheld test solution with long battery operation hours for the installation and maintenance of Metro Ethernet and IP services. A complete set of testing capabilities makes the SunLite GigE ideal for the field technician who needs to verify end-to-end transport of Gigabit Ethernet/IP traffic, perform BER tests, determine throughput, link utilization, latency, and IP connectivity.

The intuitive graphical user interface of the SunLite GigE, along with the straightforward creation and sharing of test profiles, allow technicians with limited Ethernet or IP testing experience to verify performance parameters for Gigabit Ethernet services. The wide range of test functionalities of the SunLite GigE provides all of the tools needed for verifying Service Level Agreements (SLAs) between service providers and their customers.
