Test and Service Assurance Platforms Keep Pace with Market Needs
MILPITAS, Calif., Oct. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For the next two
months at exhibitions throughout North America and Europe, JDSU
will display continually expanding capabilities for the industry's
most complete Metro Ethernet test portfolio, including several new
products addressing one of the industry's fastest-growing
technologies. JDSU's portfolio of products enables manufacturers
and service providers to address testing and service assurance
challenges throughout the Metro Ethernet lifecycle. JDSU's Metro
Ethernet portfolio will be exhibited at the following shows through
November 2007: Light Reading Optical Expo 2007, Dallas, October 2-3
(booth 303); Broadband World Forum Europe 2007, Berlin, October
8-11 (booth 1010); Light Reading Ethernet Expo, New York, October
15-17 (booth 416); and Light Reading's The Future of Carrier-Class
Ethernet, Warsaw, November 29. Carrier-grade Metro Ethernet
networks are emerging as key components in the delivery of
next-generation Ethernet-based business and consumer services (such
as triple-play). These networks facilitate service aggregation and
work in concert with methodologies that provide common QoS, traffic
engineering, redundancy and scalability across the service
infrastructure. The result is a complex mix of parameters and
requirements which bring many challenges to network equipment
manufacturers (NEMs) and service providers, including those
associated with verification of network elements, reduction of
installation times and mean-time-to-repair (MTTR), and assurance of
service availability. The JDSU portfolio is built to address these
challenges, providing an integrated, end-to-end approach to test
Metro Ethernet products and services, including development and
production, installation and maintenance, troubleshooting and
overall service assurance. "Triple play services, including those
carried over wireless, are driving the need for high-performance
carrier-grade Metro Ethernet networks," said Dave Holly, senior
vice president and general manager of JDSU's field service
Communications Test and Measurement group. "JDSU is continually
updating, investing in and adding new products to our Metro
Ethernet portfolio, and we are dedicated to being the preferred
test partner throughout the evolution of Metro Ethernet services."
JDSU's Metro Ethernet Portfolio JDSU's Metro Ethernet portfolio,
the most comprehensive in the industry, includes the full range of
Ethernet instruments, systems and software required and provides

JDSU's Metro Ethernet test portfolio also includes the TestPoint
product family, part of JDSU's recent acquisition of Innocor, used
by leading network equipment manufacturers for verification test
and production test up to 10GigE Ethernet LAN/WAN (with and without
FEC). About JDSU JDSU (Nasdaq: JDSU; and TSX: JDU) enables
broadband and optical innovation in the communications, commercial
and consumer markets. JDSU is the leading provider of
