Xena’s mission is to marketEthernet test infrastructure that Ethernet test infrastructure that delivers the price/performance

advantages of ”Ethernet technology” advantages of Ethernet technology


New Class of Test Equipment

Glaring market gap for mid-range professional test equipment

Substantial CapEx/OpEx expenditure– Substantial CapEx/OpEx expenditure– ”never enough test ports”

Companies are forced to embark on in house
