This unit
The HP OmniBER 718A / 37718A is a field-portable communications performance analyzer engineered for multi-rate BER and jitter testing across SDH/SONET, ATM, and Packet over SDH transport networks. Operating from 64 kb/s to 2.5 Gb/s (STM-16/OC-48), this instrument delivers simultaneous measurement analysis including G.826, M.21XX, and G.821 compliance verification. Smartsetup autodiscover and Smart Tests streamline configuration and execution, while automatic signal structure detection and protection switching measurement (ring and linear networks) accelerate field deployment and commissioning workflows.
