Communications service providers look to test solutions

摘要

Wireless and landline telecommunications companies and service providers face significant challenges in rolling out, maintaining, and upgrading their networks and infrastructure to support multiple data-communication standards while maintaining the highest levels of quality for voice and data traffic. So, too, do enterprises maintaining their own networks. They need assistance in the form of instrumentation, software, and services. Companies are facing particular challenges contending with virtualization and network transition. Consequently, virtual probes are helping to maintain visibility. Other products that companies can use range from protocol analyzers and emulators to handheld instruments that remain invaluable when a technician needs to track a problem down to a particular copper wire-and the handhelds are getting a boost from cloud computing.
