PR Newswire (US)
MILPITAS, Calif., Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today
announced that the T-BERD/MTS-6000A Multi-Services Application
Module has been selected by Deutsche Telekom to support the
delivery of 10 GigE, SDH, OTN and Fibre Channel-based networks. 10
GigE is deployed by operators like Deutsche Telekom in response to
the demand for increased bandwidth services like T-Home and the
corresponding strain on networks. Testing high-bandwidth services
like IPTV has become a requirement beyond the access network
because of the convergence of cost-effective Carrier Ethernet
networks and high-bandwidth triple-play services. This convergence
is complicated by the development and deployment of a number of new
Ethernet technologies and significant qualification during the
design and deployment phase is needed to ensure QoS of business and
residential triple-play services. "We are pleased to win this
opportunity to work with Deutsche Telekom and look forward to
long-term 10G services support for them with the T-BERD/MTS-6000A,"
said Jim Nerschook, vice president and general manager in JDSU's
Communications Test and Measurement business segment. "Thanks to
its multi-function capabilities, the T-BERD/MTS-6000A enables a
quick return on capital investment, reduces mean time to repair and
simplifies testing -- which reduces operational expenses." With
field applications for servicing Metro Core telecom networks,
wireless/cable switch centers and backhaul networks, government
telecommunications and network equipment manufacturer field
installation and support groups, the T-BERD/MTS-6000A
Multi-Services Application Module is the latest innovation for the
award-winning, industry-leading T-BERD/MTS family of test
solutions. T-BERD/MTS product lines have built a solid worldwide
reputation based on cutting-edge design and performance.
Compatibility with thousands of field-proven units deployed
worldwide by every major telecommunications network operator
enables easy migration to new network technologies while continuing
to reduce expenses. Earlier this year, JDSU announced a separate
agreement with Deutsche Telekom to support delivery of its IPTV
service using the JDSU NetComplete service assurance system and
associated IP test probes. About JDSU JDSU (Nasdaq: JDSU; and TSX:
