How will the acquisitions of Brix Networks and Navtel Communications expand EXFOs capabilities?
With its distributed, probe-based solutions, Brix Networks has proven experience in monitoring next-generation IP networks to ensure that voice, video, and data services are delivered with the quality of service (QoS) demanded by users. Navtel has specialized in testing emerging technologies, including next-generation IP networks that increasingly combine wireless and wireline systems. Its platforms perform several critical tests, such as capacity, performance, stress, and load testing, on switches, routers, and other devices from network equipment manufacturers. This acquisition will help EXFO expand into high-growth IMS (IP multimedia subsystem) and VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) test markets.
