JDSU Adds Industry's Most Comprehensive Triple-Play Service Quality Test Suite to Access Field Testers

PR Newswire (US)
MILPITAS, Calif., Jan. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today
announced the industry's most comprehensive triple-play service
quality test suite for the HST-3000 Handheld Services Tester and
T-BERD/MTS-4000 Multiple Services Test Platform. Using the JDSU
Class of Service (CoS) test suite software option, field
technicians can simulate real-world triple-play service use at the
customer site, enabling the most effective analysis and
troubleshooting of triple-play services running at the same time.
Traditionally, triple-play service testing involves separate,
isolated actions - performing data tests, making VoIP calls, or
checking IPTV channels. Today's challenge is that triple-play
services are generally not used serially, particularly in the home:
one person may be watching television while another person is
downloading a large file and yet another person is talking over the
VoIP line - at the same time. Each application has its own specific
Quality-of-Service requirements and all have varying bandwidth
demands, and competing demands may affect the quality of individual
services. Testing individual applications may not reveal problems
seen when mixed application traffic flows are present, making the
JDSU CoS test suite ideally suited for the turn-up of new services.
The CoS test suite can eliminate service call backs related to
problems that are not possible to detect using only
single-application testing. "Service providers worldwide offer
truly innovative triple-play services to their customers, but the
paradox is that many are facing service issues associated with the
demand for these groundbreaking, high-bandwidth offerings," said
Jim Nerschook, vice president and general manager in JDSU's
Communications Test and Measurement business segment. "The JDSU CoS
test suite helps service providers meet the quality demands of
their customers and ensure reliable triple-play services by
allowing a technician to perfectly replicate and troubleshoot
customer environments. Adding the innovative CoS test suite to an
already strong set of JDSU triple-play products also helps reduce
operational expenses and increase revenue." Specifically, the JDSU
CoS test suite enables the simultaneous testing of multiple
services running over multiple VLANs at the same time. During the
test, technicians are able to view all of the services in use but
also a graphical depiction of bandwidth across all of them. This
helps the technician identify and resolve environments where one
service may be impacting the performance of another. The new
features also enable on/off control of all services - from one
screen. The technician is therefore able to do exactly what the
customer may be doing, offering an ideal test/traffic simulation
and troubleshooting environment. About JDSU JDSU (Nasdaq: JDSU; and
