The new JDSU MTS/T-BERD-4000 modular handheld test instrument helps
service providers reduce investment and training costs MILPITAS,
Calif., Sept. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today announced
release of the MTS/T-BERD-4000 Multiple Services Test Platform for
testing and maintenance of FTTx networks. The MTS/T-BERD-4000 is an
innovative, modular handheld test instrument that provides
communication service providers a complete tool box to perform
tests from the physical layer to the application layer. The
MTS/T-BERD-4000 is on display this week at the FTTH Council Expo
2008 in Nashville, September 22-24 (booth #1303). With nearly
70,000 units deployed worldwide, the JDSU MTS/T-BERD product line
has built a solid worldwide reputation based on cutting-edge design
and performance. The MTS/T-BERD-4000 continues this success by
offering a full optical test solution set which combines the
functionality of an OTDR, PON meter, LTS, video inspection scope,
VFL power meter, and laser source into one platform, reducing the
overall amount of equipment technicians need to carry into the
field. "Understanding that FTTx service providers worldwide face
multiple topologies to manage, it became obvious that we had to
design a compact, multi-layer solution to enable FTTx crews to
rapidly install and maintain their networks," said Dave Holly, vice
president and general manager in the Communications Test &
Measurement business segment. "Not only were multiple pieces of
test equipment required before the introduction of the MTS/T-BERD
4000 but also it provides a compact and rugged platform as a single
tester, further reducing investment and training costs." The
MTS/T-BERD-4000 provides a large, seven-inch display screen with an
ergonomic and intuitive graphical user interface, similar to the
market-leading MTS/T-BERD 6000 and 8000 models. There are also
versatile and user-friendly functions such as automated scripting
capability and data reporting, a web browser for Internet access,
remote control access allowing remote assistance, 1 GB extended
memory, and extended battery life using smart Lithium ion cells.
