NIC®
Network Information Computer®
Multi-Port Transport Test Platform
The Digital Lightwave* (DLI) NIC® is a scalable test solution for verifying and qualifying the performance of today’s multi-protocol global communications networks, covering Ethernet, Fibre Channel, OTN, SONET/SDH, and PDH/DSn testing. With a flexible software/firmware-based architecture, the scalable NIC® combines in a single platform the multitude of traditional hardware-based test sets required to install, maintain, and monitor high-speed multi-protocol net-works. The NIC® is designed to grow as your network grows, and as technologies change.
The following NIC Platforms are available:
- NIC NXG (2-slot)
- NIC BP (2-slot, battery pack)
- NIC Plus NXG (5-slot)
- NIC EP (5-slot, rackmount)
The following test module options are available:
- PDH/T-Carrier Module with Optional Jitter and Wander Testing
- MSA 2020/2030 Module
- Optical Jitter and Wander Modules
- CSA 4100 40G/100G Module
- OSA Module with C-Band and L-Band
