Test Platform Delivers Industry's Smallest 10 GigE Field Tester
with Advanced IPTV and Triple-Play Service Test Features MILPITAS,
Calif., Oct. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today announced new
features for the T-BERD/MTS-6000A Multi-Services Application
Module, the industry's most compact 10 GigE multi-function tester
for the installation and maintenance of Carrier Ethernet and IP
services. The T-BERD/MTS-6000A is on display this week at Light
Reading's Ethernet Expo 2008 in New York, October 20-21 (booth
123). With the new features, JDSU continues to combine in one
product a high degree of packet and optical network test power. New
features include Fibre Channel (1/2/4/10G), OTN (OTU1/OTU2),
Ethernet Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM), Provider
Backbone Bridge/Provider Backbone Transport (PBB/PBT), and
electrical test functionality (DS1/DS3 and E1/E3/E4/STM1e). 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 such as PBB/PBT, requiring
significant qualification during the design and deployment phase to
ensure quality of service (QoS) of business and residential
triple-play services. "While IP/Ethernet remains the highest growth
technology segment, the field deployment of circuit-switched
technologies remains robust. Recognizing this fact, we view the
T-BERD/MTS-6000A Multi-Services Application Module as the ideal
tool for field deployment in metro core networks," said Jim
Nerschook, vice president and general manager in JDSU's
Communications Test and Measurement business segment. "With this
feature set, the T-BERD/MTS-6000A solidifies its position as the
next-generation packet optical network tester of choice and further
enables a quick return on capital investment, reduces mean time to
repair and simplifies testing -- which helps to reduce overall
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
Multi-Services Application Module is the latest innovation for the
award-winning, industry-leading T-BERD/MTS family of test
solutions. In addition to the new features, existing test features
of the Multi-Services Application Module include 10 GigE, IP Video,
TCP/UDP, file transfer protocol (FTP) test and support for Ethernet
and SONET/SDH up to 10GigE/10G on the same physical port. A
powerful user interface helps the technician quickly set up and
evaluate tests as well as troubleshoot problems, reducing
operational expense. About JDSU JDSU (Nasdaq: JDSU; and TSX: JDU)
