EXFO Launches a New Probe for Assurance of Transport Services and Customer QoE

The BV-110 Verifierassures transport service-level agreements while simultaneously
measuring end-user QoE for data, voice, video and mobile services

QUEBEC CITY, Oct. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO) (TSX:
EXF) announced today the launch of the BV-110, a next-generation
hardware probe designed for validating transport service-level
agreements at customer premises and cell sites while measuring end-user
quality of experience (QoE) for data, voice, video and mobile services.
Part of the overall Brix solution, the BV-110 enables service providers
and mobile network operators to assure the quality of their services,
reduce mean-time-to-repair (MTTR) and avoid unnecessary truck rolls,
resulting in significant cost savings.

The latest building block in the EXFO family of verifiers, the BV-110
increases the service assurance power of EXFO's Brix System. Thanks to
its multifunction, simultaneous measurements, patented HW timestamping
technology and evolutionary design, the BV-110 enhances operational
efficiency and network visibility with a cost-effective solution for
customer premises and cell site applications.

The BV-110 monitors transport performance and allows fixed and mobile
network operators to simultaneously measure the true end-user QoE over
both wireline and wireless segments. EXFO's new solution therefore
plays an instrumental role in maintaining a high level of customer
satisfaction and reducing churn--which is essential to the operators'
revenue stream.

"The new BV-110 Verifier is a true multiplay solution designed for
simultaneous assurance of data, voice, video and mobile services. It
delivers network to application layer performance, with extensive QoE
monitoring," said Claudio Mazzuca, Vice-President of EXFO's Systems and
Service Assurance Division. "This new monitoring tool provides the
visibility and details that are essential for network administrators to
quickly and easily troubleshoot performance issues that affect end
users' QoE."
