Portfolio of service assurance products and field testers to enable IP-based video deployments
Milpitas, Calif., November 7, 2006 – JDSU today announced that it has been chosen as a formal test and measurement partner for the Alcatel IPTV ecosystem. Included in the agreement are JDSU’s award-winning IPTV test, monitoring and analysis solutions.
By forming this relationship with JDSU, Alcatel is demonstrating their commitment to reduce time-to-market, lower development costs and minimize risks for IP-based video service offerings.
JDSU’s relationship with Alcatel includes its QT-200, QT-600 and QT-1100 test heads as well as its HST-3000 handheld field tester. JDSU’s carrier-grade, scalable, multi-service test heads detect patterns of quality of service (QoS) degradation through proactive traffic monitoring and, from a centralized location, quickly segment the network to identify the source of the problem. The JDSU HST-3000 handheld triple-play services tester is specifically designed to meet the test needs of field technicians who install and maintain access networks, including higher bit-rate triple play services like IPTV and HDTV.
“JDSU is honored to be recognized by Alcatel as a best-in-class test and measurement vendor for IP video,” said John Peeler, president of JDSU’s Communications Test & Measurement group. “We look forward to working as a formal partner in the effective delivery of Alcatel’s IP-based video services around the globe by providing scaleable IP video test solutions that enable the deployment of video services and the promise of IPTV.”
The JDSU products are key components of the portfolio awarded Frost & Sullivan’s 2006 Growth Strategy Award for IP Video/IPTV test, which recognized the company’s leadership in the IPTV marketplace.
