Home / Latest News

Fremont, Calif., September 2, 2020 – VeEX Inc., a global leader in innovative test and
measurement solutions for next-generation networks, formally announced today the
MTX150x Dual 10G Ethernet installation and maintenance handheld test set. This packet
switched networks (PSN) tester covers all data rates from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps and is the
smallest, full-featured Ethernet test solution on the market today.
Part of the V150 handheld family of products, the new MTX150x is a super compact field
tester packed with all applicable test features found on larger traditional test sets. This
includes Layer 1-4+ single and dual-port testing capabilities, all at a low cost. Given the
growing interest in PON, R-PHY and 5G access, the MTX150x is a nice addition to the
Installer, Contractor and Enterprise markets.
“Ethernet is everywhere. What started from LAN is now playing a major role in core,
transport, metro and transmission network deployments. From Gigabit/multi-Gigabit
Internet services, PON, R-PHY, Business Services, Point-to-point to 5G backhaul, packet
networks are the new standard for heavy lifting. Many network operators and service
providers have full packet networks and should not be subjected to the burden, extra
complexity and cost of multi-service test sets offering every TDM and other legacy
technologies- featuresthey don’t need or no longer deploy,” said Ricardo Torres, Director
of Ethernet & Transport Product Development for VeEX.

Key features:
• Dual ports and up to two simultaneous tests
• 10GBASE-X, 100/1000BASE-X, 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet testing
• Layer 1 to 4+ testing, including QoS and QoE tests
• Complete test solution: Throughput, RFC2544, V-SAM (Y.1564), V-PERF (RFC6349),
V-TEST (speed test), SDT

MPLS, MPLS-TP, PBB, EoE support
• Layer 2 Control Protocol Transparency test
• 1/2/4G Fibre Channel (SAN) testing options
• Available WiFi client, WiFi access point mode, Bluetooth® and LAN connectivity options

“No one can deny that the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has caused great economic damage
that can have long-lasting effects even after vaccines are found, and when we go back to
our ‘new normal.’ No matter what the future is, we expect customers to be mindful and
cautious with their budgets and spending. At VeEX, we have made a strategic
commitment to offer more competitive products that allow operators, service providers
and contractors to keep their field crews equipped with the necessary gear.

Competitiveness has two main components: cost and value. The MTX150x delivers both,
with a full feature set at a much lower cost. Along with its simplicity and flexibility, it is
meant to benefit all of our customers and their end users,” said Cyrille Morelle, President
and CEO of VeEX.
The MTX150x Ethernet test set is the industry’s most compact and powerful handheld
test solution currently available to assist with 1GE and 10GE deployment. A true handheld
with battery operation, the Ethernet-focused MTX150x simplifies operations and eases
the learning curve. This saves time, increases efficiency and ease-of-use for installation
and maintenance crews working in the field and on customer premises
