Averna has announced an updated version of its Jupiter 310 Design Verification System. Jupiter 310 is utilized for automated DOCSIS 3.1 physical (PHY) layer pre-certification testing. It provides increased test coverage with accurate results for DOCSIS 3.1 devices. In addition, it has 100 percent coverage for all ATP-PHYs with mixed-mode test points.

The Jupiter 310 includes a Vector Signal Generator (VSG) to generate impairments and a multi-functional dashboard consisting of Vector Signal Analyzer (VSA), MIB browser and a RF interface unit control, making cable modem debugging easier.

Zuken has developed E3.WiringSystemLab, a software platform that streamlines the optimization of complex wire harness designs based on inputs from heterogeneous sources. The software can import connectivity information from a range of sources and consolidates them with 3D topology data. The resulting 3D topology can be evaluated and optimized in a consistent 3D environment that has been designed to support the needs of users without requiring specialized training.
