Tier-1 Network Service Provider Selects Sunrise Telecom's STT Platform As Part of Their OC-192 Over DWDM Deployment

Posted on: Monday, 6 December 2004, 06:00 CST

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sunrise Telecom Incorporated announced today that the Scalable Test Toolkit (STT) has been selected by a North American Tier-1 service provider as the sole vender for their OC-192 transmission test needs. The STT was selected for its SONET test capabilities at OC-192, along with test interfaces at all rates down to 1.5Mb/s (T1). A key element in this decision is the expandability and flexibility of the platform, which also supports Ethernet testing, fiber cable analysis, DWDM circuit testing, dispersion analysis, IP telephony, mobile, traditional PSTN protocols, and other advanced voice- related service analysis. The first units have been shipped to the customer and are being pressed into service ahead of the rollout of the DWDM transmission system. Sunrise Telecom is scheduled to meet an aggressive plan to deploy a STT in each major central office throughout the service provider's region.

The STT was selected after a long-term competitive evaluation by the customer at several labs. All major aspects of this product were evaluated, including advanced SONET test features, user friendliness, integration with existing test procedures, and product flexibility. Sunrise Telecom was also praised for it's willingness to support the customer on several levels, including the development of new features, extensive product training and custom tailored job aids, to ensure that all test needs are fully met.

"Approval of the STT after this thorough evaluation reaffirms the product's viability as the definitive next generation test platform, said Bob Heintz, Vice President of Marketing and Sales, North America. He continued by saying that, "Customers see value in a platform that will economically keep their networks running now and well into the future."

Ildefonso M. Polo, Director of Product Marketing for Core and Transport products, adds, "Our customers used to associate Sunrise Telecom only with versatile handheld test sets for field applications. Fortunately we are expanding upon that image as we are being recognized in central office applications with instruments like the STT, which has already been well received by key customers in Asia, Europe, and now North America",
