JDSU Launches Sweep Feature to the Triple-Play Digital Services Analysis Meter: Unveils the DSAM-6000
SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb 2. -- JDSU (Nasdaq: JDSU; and TSX: JDU) today launched the Digital Services Analysis Meter (DSAM) 6000, a platform extension of the DSAM series that is now integrated with JDSU's widely deployed Stealth Sweep(TM) technology. The 6000 positions the DSAM as the first test instrument on the market that adds complete sweep test features to the handheld's ability to support reliable and efficient VoIP, high-speed data (HSD) and digital/analog video deployments.
By incorporating forward and reverse sweep functions, the DSAM-6000 is now able to effectively and efficiently identify transmission errors that cause digital impairments by measuring the frequency response of the network. Non-interfering, continuously referenced sweep tracing helps reveal physical errors in the network that influence transmitted signals, allowing an operator to transmit all signals with proper noise specifications and the lowest distortion.
"JDSU is proud to introduce this important enhancement to our award-winning DSAM platform, making it an all-in-one network test meter for the efficient and reliable delivery of services such as VoIP," said Kevin Oliver, vice president of marketing for JDSU's cable networks business unit. "Our patented Stealth Sweep technology found in JDSU's widely deployed SDA-5000 series is now embedded in the DSAM, ensuring compatibility with meters in use by so many operators today."
The DSAM-6000 is designed to meet the test and measurement needs of network maintenance technicians tasked with ensuring that service and signals are performing optimally. It integrates all of the industry-leading data, voice and video services support of the DSAM models, including VoIPCheck, Return QAM Generator and TechComplete, among others, with the highly regarded sweep capabilities of JDSU's legacy stealth digital analyzers (SDAs). For operators currently deploying the SDA-5000 line, the DSAM-6000 can conveniently work with the SDA-5000 in the field and interactively with existing SDA-5500/5510s in the headend, without the operator having to make any modifications, conduct new training or initiate additional roll-outs to the field.
