Photonic Performance Gauge

Optimize optical performance with unprecedented visibility

Traditionally, real-time visibility into the performance of the photonic network has been limited. Often, a network path appears to be in working order, but an error will occur when traffic is switched onto this path, causing network downtime and service interruption.

And now, with Photonic Performance Gauge, part of our award-winning family of Liquid Spectrum™ Analytics Apps, you gain unprecedented real-time visibility into the state of your photonic network to achieve the optimal balance of network performance, efficiency, and availability. To learn more about how Liquid Spectrum Apps, including Photonic Performance Gauge, can transform your operations, watch our video and read our blog.
