Xena 5GE Test Modules
The new 5.0GE and 2.5GE standards are designed to ease congestion at Wi-Fi access points by boosting performance by up to 500% while reusing existing Cat5e/Cat6 cabling. This makes them much cheaper than upgrading to 10GE.
To help the many Network Equipment Manufacturers (NEMs) preparing to launch 2.5GE & 5.0GE networking devices, NextGig Systems offers the Xena Odin Ethernet test modules which can test both 5.0 and 2.5GE, as well as 10GE, 1GE and 100 Mbps – all via the same device and using the same software.
This makes it ideal for quickly and cost-effectively validating 5G and 2.5G Ethernet performance on any device or network.
Xena 5GE compatible test modules:
| Z10sx Odin | Z10r Odin |
| (# of Interfaces / Type) 6 SFP+ (# of Ports / Speed) |
(# of Interfaces / Type) 6 RJ45 (# of Ports / Speed) |
Software
All Xena solutions include user-friendly software to make it quick and easy to perform a multitude of relevant performance, QA, compliancy and functional testing: XenaManager, applications for automated RFC 2544, Y.1564, RFC 2889, RFC 3918 testing, and Xena OpenAutomation.
Pricing
Xena’s Ethernet test solutions are renowned for their price/performance – you get a lot of great features at a very affordable price. To help you evaluate our 5GE solutions, we are happy to offer free online demo session where we walk you through all the software and answer any questions you might have regarding your specific test scenario.
If you already know what you need, we can also arrange for a quick quote. Part of our value proposition is that we include all software and 3 years’ of upgrades free of charge with every L2-3 solution. We also offer free technical support for the lifetime of the product and a year’s free hardware warranty.
Xena offers a choice of two chassis 1U and 4U that can be equipped with an extensive range of copper and optical Gigabit Ethernet test modules supporting all Ethernet speeds 1GE, 2.5GE, 5GE, 10GE, 25GE, 40GE, 50GE, 100GE, 200GE, 400GE and 800GE.
The chassis and test modules are controlled via XenaManager, a Windows GUI client provided for ad-hoc test execution, and remote management of test equipment located in multiple locations. Also included are standalone applications for automated RFC 2544, Y.1564, RFC 2889 and RFC 3918 testing.
Finally, an open TCP/IP-based text API lets users automate testing from any software environment, using Tcl, Python, Perl, VBA and Java wrappers to convert to/from the generic XOA CLI format.
The Xena Networks test equipment can handle the widest range of lab-based test scenarios – performance testing, functional testing, QoS and so on – with a minimum of fuss.
Pricing is considerably lower than the industry leaders – especially when you factor in our policy of including 3 years’ free software upgrades and HW warranty, plus free training and tech support
Xena is repeatedly praised for being user-friendly. The hardware is easy to install and configure, and the intuitive software really does make life simpler for test engineers
Xena reflects its Scandinavian roots – quality products loaded with smart “no-fuss” features that deliver great value, from a company that sincerely cares about customer satisfaction.
