Wavecrest Corporation Completes Installation Of OC-48 Sonet Production Solution For Vitesse Semiconductor
October 3, 2000
Wavecrest Corporationce="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><%=company%> today announced the completion of a
large-scale production integration for Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation. Based upon the
proven WAVECREST DTS™ platform, the solution enables Vitesse to test
their sophisticated SONET devices for a wider range of performance specifications,
including jitter transfer, jitter output, rise-time and fall-time.
Wavecrest Corporationce="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">A team of WAVECREST
engineers collaborated with Vitesse production management to design and implement a
solution that would leverage the performance benefits of WAVECREST
technology while minimizing the disruption and the downtime of a system upgrade. At the
heart of the installation, the WAVECREST DTs provided a wide range of
analytical capabilities, while completely eliminating the need for a separate oscilloscope
and signal analyzer.
Wavecrest Corporationce="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">"The WAVECREST
production solution provides a significant performance boost to our SONET test"
stated Mike Moacanin, direction of telecom product engineering. "From an economic
standpoint, the integrated solution paid for itself in the first full day of
production."
Wavecrest Corporationce="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">WAVECREST production
solutions may be integrated into most ATE and are currently capable of test speeds of up
to 3.2 Gb/s for Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet. Products such as the new TEM™
("Test Enhancement Module"), a self-contained, portable and easily integrated
system, enable production managers and test engineers to maximize the performance and the
useful life of their test equipment.
Wavecrest Corporationce="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">"We are pleased to have been
selected for this project", said Michael deBie of WAVECREST Corporation.
"Vitesse, with their demonstrated commitment to performance and quality, is the ideal
candidate for our production solution. We were able to quickly adapt our basic platform to
meet their special requirements and provide a seamless and powerful integration."
Wavecrest Corporationce="Arial,Helvetica,sans" size="2">Mr. DeBie also noted that the equipment was
integrated both into test stations and expansion stations, underscoring the versatility
and cost-effectiveness of WAVECREST production solutions.
