LinkTest – a new feature in SRD Go for testing transmission paths

Until now, testing 100G connections required external testers and came with additional logistical challenges. Now, all it takes is SRD 5, a coherent module, and the SRD Go application to launch a transmission test within minutes.

The entire process is straightforward: SRD 5 initiates the test signal, the coherent module measures key quality parameters such as BER, FEC, and OSNR, and the results are instantly delivered to the application, where they are presented in a clear format.

This gives operators tangible savings and reduces costs associated with purchasing or maintaining external testers. Remote diagnostics shorten the time needed to verify transmission paths and allow faster response to potential issues.

The LinkTest feature also improves network reliability by enabling regular monitoring of connection quality without interrupting system operation.

The introduction of LinkTest marks another step in the development of the SRD platform. This new functionality gives operators even greater control over their networks and simplifies maintenance, making the diagnostic process more accessible, efficient, and mobile.
