JDSU Introduces New Features to Industry's Most Complete DSL Field Test Instrument
MILPITAS, Calif., March 5 /-- JDSU today announced added functionality to the HST-3000, the market's most complete handheld DSL test unit, including a new VDSL service interface module (SIM) using an Infineon Technologies (FSE, NYSE: IFX) chipset and a licensed option for Dr. DSL(R) diagnostic solutions from Aware, Inc. (NASDAQ:AWRE). Both new features provide additional testing power for field technicians who install and maintain access networks and high bit-rate triple-play services, including IPTV and HDTV.
The HST-3000, an all-in-one handheld tester for more efficient broadband access network service installation and maintenance, will be showcased at CeBIT 2008 in Hannover, Germany, March 4-9 (Hall 13, stand B20).
Using the HST-3000 Infineon VSDL SIM, technicians are able to test across VDSL and ADSL/ADSL2+, including Ikanos, Accelity, and Broadcom VDSL 2 chipsets. The HST-3000 with Dr. DSL enables technicians to perform far-end and in-home physical layer loop diagnostics, DSLAM and customer premises modem emulation, ATM layer testing, and end-to-end IP connectivity.
"DSL continues to evolve to meet the needs of broadband users worldwide, and JDSU has the most complete DSL test set on the market in the HST-3000," said Jim Nerschook, vice president and general manager of JDSU's telecommunication field services (TFS) Communications Test and Measurement business segment. "As DSL test needs expand, the HST-3000 will continue to provide the most complete set of solutions available in a single, field-proven instrument."
Telecommunications network operators worldwide have adopted the HST-3000 because it provides a broad set of capabilities engineered for the rapid, reliable and efficient deployment of broadband services. In addition to its complete set of DSL test features, the HST-3000 also provides licensed test support for vendor-specific versions of IPTV such as MSTV.
About the JDSU HST-3000
The JDSU HST-3000 is a modular, hand-held test tool that scales to address a broad spectrum of different access network technology testing needs, from the physical layer to the application layer. It was the first hand-held field test tool to provide basic turn-up and troubleshooting of VoIP deployment, supporting physical layer analysis through packet metrics, signaling analysis and voice quality determination. HST-3000 capabilities allow packet capture of live VoIP calls, including VoIP call storage and an integrated FTP capability to send captured VoIP calls to be analyzed by JDSU's PVA-1000 software. The HST was created to improve efficiency and lower the costs of installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting business and residential services and networks. The HST-3000 combines copper, voice and data service testing features with unparalleled process automation capabilities in a lightweight, battery-operated unit.
By adding ADSL2+, VDSL and IPTV test options, the HST-3000 provides a comprehensive and industry-leading portable test solution for triple-play service deployments and extends its capabilities for installation and maintenance crews who are responsible for the turn-up and troubleshooting of these new services.
