Hi mate if its any consolation ive just been giving my notice from the telecomms game!!!!! im an SDH commissioner.

AndrewSTI-V

Not mine mate! i work for Nortel Networks (well until xmas anyway) lol.

Yep - you guessed correct at Agilent.
I don't currently have a Scooby, but did have a MY99 from 1999 to 2001 - it was blue with gold wheels and was parked outside building 1/2/3.

I hang around here cos I am sad :-)

imlach

Andrew STIV - an SDH commissioner eh!!!

Wow - I work on the development of SDH/SONET/PDH/Ethernet transmission test sets for Agilent. Perhaps you have used some of our kit? Omnibers or such like?

In all the time I have done (did!?!) the job, I've never met someone who worked in the "real world" using SDH/SONET/PDH etc.....

Enlighten me as to what you do!?!?! And do you prefer our kit to W&G and Anritsu? Hehehehehehe...

AndrewSTI-V

Basically my job entails testing of SDH kit used to hold customer traffic such as phone calls for internet, call centres, banks etc etc. Have seen the agilent kit but cant say ive used it that much. The company used to hire Anritsu 2.5G test sets from Livingston so we always used them until recently weve been using old HP ones which are older than myself i think and cheaper to rent.

AndrewSTI-V

come to think of it ive worked with omnibers before but not sure whether it was agilent.

imlach

Andrew - Omnibers are either badged HP or Agilent depending on how old they are......

ie, Agilent spun off from HP a few years back so every Omniber since has Agilent badge.
