MILPITAS, Calif., May 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU (Nasdaq:
JDSU; TSX: JDU) today announced that Eurofiber, the leading
specialized provider of managed dark fiber in the Benelux, has
purchased JDSU's Optical Network Management System (ONMS) to
monitor the quality of service of its dark fiber network
infrastructure. The agreement includes options for future service
level agreement (SLA) and network support. The JDSU ONMS was
selected by Eurofiber because it enables real-time service, test
and performance monitoring over active/live fiber, which improves
quality of service, especially for broadband services. JDSU's ONMS
also helps Eurofiber reduce time and costs associated with network
troubleshooting, operation and maintenance and delivers automatic
operation and maintenance tasks, allowing Eurofiber to guarantee
its high-quality service to customers. "The JDSU monitoring system
enables us to guarantee the highest possible availability and
reliability of our network and thus gives us a tool to give our
customers the best possible service," said Joost Goderie, CEO of
Eurofiber. "As companies like Eurofiber provide fiber services to
the market, they require greater efficiency not just within the
last mile, but throughout the fiber networks interlacing with other
systems inside and outside their markets," said Enzo di Luigi,
general manager of JDSU's fiber optics Test and Measurement group.
"Deploying the JDSU ONMS allows Eurofiber to confront head-on the
capacity challenges associated with network deployment, and we are
pleased to be working with the company to bring reliable dark fiber
to customers throughout Benelux." About Eurofiber Eurofiber is a
