TraceSpan's GPON Xpert Supports TR-069

PLEASANTON, CA - TraceSpan Communications, a provider of broadband analysis and monitoring solutions, announced a new version of the GPON Xpert analyzer, which includes embedded support for TR-069, a protocol that enables remote diagnosis and management of devices at the customer premises. GPON Xpert's support for TR-069 addresses the increasing testing needs for configuration of services over GPON ONUs and GPON-fed residential gateways.

GPON Xpert's list of customers includes tier-1 telecom operators, manufacturers and test labs, many of which are involved in the deployment, testing and certification of TR-069 devices.

The TR-069 support is included in GPON Xpert's upper layer analysis module. It will be provided as a free-of-charge upgrade to existing GPON Xpert customers who have the upper layer option and are under a maintenance contract, as well as to those who renew their maintenance within this timeframe.

These customers will also benefit from the additional enhancements and capabilities provided in this new version, including enhancement of the Validation test mechanism for automatically validating the Ethernet VLAN Tagging parameters, allowing its expansion for applications such as WT-255-based interoperability testing; and the latest amendments of the ITU G,988 recommendation for OMCI and those of G.984.3 for the TC layer, including support of the PON-ID maintenance capability.
