Sunrise Telecom Introduces First Complete Field Testing Solution for VDSL
Posted on: Wednesday, 17 December 2003, 06:00 CST
SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sunrise Telecom Incorporated , a leading provider of service verification equipment for telecommunications and cable TV networks, today announced the first integrated multi-layer field testing solution for VDSL. The industry-leading SunSet MTT product family now offers the SunSet MTT EX chassis, enhanced to support copper installation and maintenance applications for VDSL, and the VTU-R module, which supports VDSL customer modem emulation. This bundled solution facilitates successful VDSL installations by verifying service performance and identifying trouble sources that may affect service.
VDSL, Very high-speed Digital Subscriber Line, is considered to be the next step for telecom operators in delivering "triple-play" service: voice, video, and data. VDSL technology utilizes high-frequency bands making the existing copper maintenance tools inadequate to properly test the copper plant for VDSL service. The SunSet MTT EX is the first handheld test set to support the extended frequency range needed for VDSL. It allows service providers to properly manage their network's spectrum to prevent harmful interference. In addition, the SunSet MTT EX's TDR has been optimized for enhanced performance over the short cable distances used in VDSL deployment. A Time Domain Reflectometer is a troubleshooting tool used to identify the exact location of cable faults, leading to prompt resolution.
The SunSet MTT VTU-R Module provides a quick and thorough method for installing VDSL circuits. It not only checks the wiring and verifies service, but also gives vital performance metrics like data rate and noise margin. A one-button automated test improves testing efficiency and increases test reliability, regardless of the user's experience level.
With 30 different test modules, the SunSet MTT platform gives service installers the industry's broadest solution for installing and troubleshooting voice and data access applications. Such applications include E1, T1, T3, ISDN, IP, Gigabit Ethernet, ATM, Datacom, HSSI, Voice Frequency (VF), ADSL, SHDSL, IDSL, SDSL, and ISDN. These products provide multi-layer diagnostic solutions -- allowing technicians to easily cross over between troubleshooting the physical, service, and network layers. The platforms are inherently modular, offering flexibility for users as their technology, network architecture, and budget change. This modularity provides a cost-effective solution so that customers can downsize their budget without sacrificing critical testing equipment.
