The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Collect granular and precise network, application, and service data with Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor Modules.
Cisco® Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor Modules (formerly Accedian Skylight Sensor Modules) allow you to more effectively address end-to-end service lifecycles, from Service Activation Testing (SAT) to assurance management and service demarcation. The small form factor of the modules helps keep them power-efficient, and all management capabilities are automated and orchestrated through the Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor Control software.
These modules are equipped with a fully featured Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) capable of active Layer 2 through 4 testing and traffic generation—without compromising performance, scalability, and precision. This makes Assurance Sensor Modules an ideal fit for cost- and space-sensitive applications where performance is a key service differentiator.
