/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today announced that it has been
chosen as a formal test and measurement partner for the Alcatel
IPTV ecosystem. Included in the agreement are JDSU's award-winning
IPTV test, monitoring and analysis solutions. By forming this
relationship with JDSU, Alcatel is demonstrating their commitment
to reduce time-to-market, lower development costs and minimize
risks for IP-based video service offerings. JDSU's formal
relationship with Alcatel includes its QT-200, QT-600 and QT-1100
test heads as well as its HST-3000 handheld field tester. JDSU's
carrier-grade, scalable, multi-service test heads detect patterns
of quality of service (QoS) degradation through proactive traffic
monitoring and, from a centralized location, quickly segment the
network to identify the source of the problem. The JDSU HST-3000
handheld triple-play services tester is specifically designed to
meet the test needs of field technicians who install and maintain
access networks, including higher bit-rate triple play services
like IPTV and HDTV. "JDSU is honored to be recognized by Alcatel as
a best-in-class test and measurement vendor for IP video," said
John Peeler, president of JDSU's Communications Test &
Measurement group. "We look forward to working as a formal partner
in the effective delivery of Alcatel's IP-based video services
around the globe by providing scaleable IP video test solutions
that enable the deployment of video services and the promise of
IPTV." The JDSU products included in the licensing agreement are
key components of the portfolio awarded Frost & Sullivan's 2006
Growth Strategy Award for IP Video/IPTV test, which recognized the
company's leadership in the IPTV marketplace. About JDSU JDSU
