At-a-glance product summary.
JDSU offers test and measurement instruments, systems, software, services, and integrated solutions that help communications services providers, equipment manufacturers, and major communications users maintain their competitive advantage at each stage of the network lifecycle.
As video content has migrated from analog to digital format, the delivery mechanism, for both old and new formats, has changed as communication networks move toward a packet-based infrastructure. So, in addition to new digital compression streams entering the network-MPEG-2 and MPEG-4- there are new network protocols to implement and verify in order to guarantee the quality of service expected by video customers. Whether you are involved in analog or compressed video, delivered over a cable or telecommunication infrastructure, JDSU offers the manufacturing, deployment, and service assurance solutions needed to deliver on the promise of high quality video to the consumer.
JDSU understands the unique requirements of federal networks-the need for reliable, rugged, multi-purpose test tools. Our specialized offerings for government and military networks enable reliable communications, providing you with the service and bandwidth you need, when you need.
A comprehensive suite of test and measurement solutions to enable fiber networks to support 10 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s data rates. JDSU’s portfolio includes the T-BERD 8000 which provides fiber installers and field service technicians with solutions that combine loss, OTDR, and dispersion analysis (PMD & CD) measurements necessary to certify high speed fiber networks.
The JDSU FTTx Test and Management Portfolio addresses each phase of FTTx deployment and triple-play service assurance. With JDSU, you can install and qualify fiber and copper infrastructures; provision Ethernet, DSL, and IP-based services; isolate faults, and monitor the MPEG-2 digital transport stream. JDSU instruments, systems, software, and services enable seamless transition between media and services testing and service assurance.
The distribution of Triple play services - video, voice, and data - through the Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) network, requires the selection and use of proper testing equipment and applications. JDSU, the leader in providing best-in-class test equipment for the HFC network - from the headend to the node and onto the customer premises - offers test solutions for observing and locating problems for network activation, certification, service testing, maintenance, and monitoring. Signal leakage, system sweep, analog and digital video monitoring, DOSCIS service testing, VoIP rollout and maintenance, and forward and return path maintenance are just a few issues solved with JDSU’s HFC portfolio.
As networks move from a circuit-based to a packet-based structure, and services are migrated to IP-based delivery, the job of finding, characterizing, and fixing network trouble becomes more complex. Problems occur at higher layers of network protocol, and involve interactions between multiple and different communication links. JDSU addresses this complexity by providing a portfolio of end-to-end service assurance systems that let the network operator look across the network to monitor performance and quality, and then drill-down at discrete points to isolate root cause problems.
Bridging the connection between a faster core network and a more complex access infrastructure, metro and wide area networks (WANs) are undergoing a transformation. New technologies, WDM, 10GbE, OTN, are being deployed, while existing technologies, SONET/SDH and ATM, continue to provide connectivity between networks. JDSU's portfolio of test equipment, software, and systems enables manufacturers and operators to deploy metro networks with confidence and optimize the quality of all services delivered.
The reliability of Ethernet/SONET/SDH/ PDH/OTN/Jitter is evidenced by the large number of deployments in core and metro networks around the world. The high capacity and high reliability provided by these technologies help ensure that transport networks will be capable of keeping up with increasing bandwidth demands. JDSU provides manufacturers and operators with the tools and test systems they need to ensure the continued success of current and evolving standards of Ethernet/SONET/SDH/ PDH/OTN/Jitter.
JDSU's VoIP test and management portfolios offer an integrated approach to VoIP turn-up, troubleshooting, and service assurance. These bundled sets of instruments, systems, and software are specifically tailored to the unique network and operating environments of service providers and cable operators. In today's packet world, delays are unacceptable. The answer to fast, smooth VoIP service rollouts and continuous call quality is JDSU's VoIP test and management portfolios - in the field, at the customer premises, in the NOC, and at the desktop, finding, fixing, and even preventing problems.
Designing, deploying, and operating mobile wireless networks add multiple dimensions of complexity to all test and measurement scenarios. Different RF technologies are introduced, new network elements and protocols are needed to accommodate roaming users, and content must be customized to mobile handsets. JDSU offers mobile network manufacturers, planners, and operators a full suite of solutions to enable mobile service delivery.
As bandwidth demands from network users continue to grow, the last-mile connectivity to these users must evolve. While there is a large number of alternate and complementary last-mile technologies, most users still connect to the world through copper, so copper access technologies continue to evolve. JDSU provides field and remote test solutions for the latest copper technologies, in particular the xDSL family of access technologies.
