Enquiries concerning XenaBay and high port count test requirements should be sent to info@xenanetworks.com.

The price/performance advantages that Xena's customers have with our GbE/10GbE test solutions they will soon have with our 40GbE/100GbE test solutions.

Xena Networks is pleased to announce our participation on a 14.5 million (Danish Kroner) technology development project sponsored by Denmark's Advanced Technology Foundation. 

As part of this effort, Xena is seeking "Alpha" customers who wish to work with us in defining requirements and key features for our 40Gb/100Gb low-price, high-performance Ethernet test platform. Enquiries regarding our 40GbE/100GbE products should be sent to info@xenanetworks.com.

Growth of Carrier Ethernet networks and services creates exciting market opportunities for an ever expanding ecosystem of Ethernet solutions providers. 

Xena Networks and ecosystem partner Net-O2 Technologies are pleased to announce that we are working together to deliver a low-cost, interoperable, best-of-breed hardware/software solution for Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) conformance testing.  

Interoperability between Xena hardware and Net-O2 software will provide customers with an MEF test solution having a powerful set of features plus wire-speed performance at a fraction of the price of competing solutions.

As the result of a highly successful test project using the XenaCompact, Xena is pleased to announce DANTE as one of our newest customers.

DANTE, based in the United Kingdom, operates the GÉANT high bandwidth pan-European research and education backbone which connects Europe's National Research and Education Networks (NRENs).

DANTE found that the XenaCompact provided a competitive price/performance proposition in a wire-speed tester that enabled them to affordably test and characterize operational nodes in their 10GbE network including transatlantic links to Internet2 in the United States.

A product evaluation report was produced by the team working with DANTE on this transatlantic test project. This report is available here - Product Evaluation Report: XenaCompact.

A leading provider of programmable chip solutions to telecom equipment manufacturers has demanding requirements for wire-speed performance and port count scalability at an affordable cost per port. They turn to Xena Networks for a solution.

TPACK provides some of the world's largest telecommunication equipment manufacturers with leading edge technology and solutions for efficient packet transport. Specifically, TPACK provides the chip solutions and the supporting software that implement the intelligence in telecom systems.

TPACK deployed the XenaCompact to support their intensive quality assurance practices in the production of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) where sophisticated wire-speed traffic generation and analysis capabilities are the most critical requirements. With Xena, TPACK has an Ethernet test platform that satisfies their immediate need for speed yet also scales to address their requirements for high test port density with the introduction of the XenaBay.
