Lee Goldberg - analogZONE
"And since Galazar is mentioned in the release, I'd like to use the opportunity to acknowledge them (Galazar) as one of the big forces behind the LCAS standard within the IC world.", wrote Lee Goldberg, section editor at analogZONE. "The fact that they have found Agilent's analysis tools so useful is a greater testament to their value than anything I can say myself. Galazar's innovative and incredibly versatile MSF250 2.5-Gbit/s Multi Service Framer that I reviewed back in late 2002 was the first, and remains one of the best devices of its type. If I'd had a chance (my fault, not theirs) to review their newer DSF250 and MSF15 framers this year, they would have been a shoe-in for one of our 2003 Product Of The Year Awards. Hopefully, I'll have another chance when they roll out their next generation of products later this year."

Ronnie Neil - Agilent
"We are very pleased to be working with Galazar on its MSF250 evaluation tour," said Ronnie Neil, Agilent's marketing programs manager for next-generation SONET testing. "Interoperability is key to the deployment of next-generation SONET networks and services, and the use of the OmniBER OTN enables customers to fully evaluate the functionality and interoperability of the Galazar framer."
