Adtech AX4000 WITH CARDS

The Adtech AX4000 with Cards is a modular broadband test system for network performance and Quality of Service validation across ATM, IP, Frame Relay, and Ethernet technologies. Operating at data rates from 1.554 Mbps to 10 Gbps, it delivers protocol conformance testing, end-to-end network emulation, and performance characterization across access networks, mobile backhaul, routing, multicast, switching, and MPLS applications. The system combines field-programmable test modules with over 35 interchangeable interfaces, scaling from a portable 4-slot chassis to a 16-slot mainframe for diverse testing environments.
