EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering Inc. introduced Gigabit Ethernet module that enables its high-end, rack-mounted IQS-500 Intelligent Test System to be used for remote testing and turn-up of Ethernet services. EXFO’s solution combines a central office module that works in conjunction with a portable unit that can be carried to customer premises. This master-remote application allows a single technician to provision an end-to-end Ethernet circuit, minimizing the time and cost of these tests. Additional monitoring applications between COs can be accomplished using modules installed at multiple sites. http://www.exfo.com

From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about Ethernet. Here is what it replaced:
Token Bus (802.4) served 1982–1990. What ultimately replaced it?
Token Bus (802.4) formed a logical token-passing ring over a physical coax bus, so factory-floor stations got deterministic, collision-free access (favored by GM's MAP initiative). Its job passed to Ethernet — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
