PR Newswire (US)
MILPITAS, Calif., March 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU (Nasdaq:
JDSU; TSX: JDU) today announced that it has shipped more than
21,000 units of the HST-3000, making it one of the industry's most
widely deployed triple-play test instruments. The HST-3000 is an
all-in-one handheld tester for more efficient broadband access
network service installation and maintenance. Telecommunications
network operators worldwide have adopted the HST-3000 because it
enables rapid, reliable and efficient deployment of broadband
services. KPN of the Netherlands, for example, has adopted the
HST-3000 to ensure the installation and maintenance of its
broadband triple-play services, including IPTV, VoIP, and other
services carried over ADSL2+. By providing powerful automation
features that improve field technician efficiency, the HST-3000
enables KPN to efficiently deploy and effectively troubleshoot its
aggressive rollout of triple-play services to business and
residential customers throughout the Netherlands. With broadband
triple-play adoption increasing at a rapid pace, service levels and
reliable performance are fast becoming the differentiating factors
for carriers offering integrated voice, data and video services.
According to a recent industry study, more than 80 percent of
European broadband users believe that customer service would stay
the same or improve if they received IP-based voice, video and
high-speed data services from one provider, and more than 30
percent said their biggest concern about IPTV is poor picture
quality." Carriers throughout Europe are expanding their networks
to include IP services for both businesses and residences, and KPN
is among the market leaders," said Jerry Gentile, general manager
of JDSU's Telecommunication Field Services (TFS) Communications
Test and Measurement group. "The HST-3000 provides in a single
instrument the complete set of triple-play service test
capabilities, including vendor-specific versions of IPTV, making it
unique and ahead of the rest of the industry." About the JDSU
HST-3000 The JDSU HST-3000 is a modular, hand-held test tool that
scales to address a broad spectrum of different access network
technology testing needs, from the physical layer to the
application layer. It was the first hand-held field test tool to
provide basic turn-up and troubleshooting of VoIP deployment,
supporting physical layer analysis through packet metrics,
signaling analysis and voice quality determination. HST-3000
capabilities allow packet capture of live VoIP calls, including
VoIP call storage and an integrated FTP capability to send captured
VoIP calls to be analyzed by JDSU's PVA-1000 software. The HST was
created to improve efficiency and lower the costs of installing,
maintaining, and troubleshooting business and residential services
and networks. The HST-3000 combines copper, voice and data service
testing features with unparalleled process automation capabilities
in a lightweight, battery-operated unit. By adding ADSL2+, VDSL and
IPTV test options, the HST-3000 provides a comprehensive and
industry-leading portable test solution for triple-play service
deployments and extends its capabilities for installation and
maintenance crews who are responsible for the turn-up and
troubleshooting of these new services. About KPN Royal Dutch
