Sunrise Telecom® Adds VDSL2 Testing to Its Market-Leading Home Test Toolkit(TM), Accelerating Worldwide Installation of FTTN Subscribers and IPTV Services



The Home Test Toolkit includes virtually every test required for accurate triple play deployment, reducing CAPEX and ensuring a quality installation with a single truck roll.

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 16 /-- Sunrise Telecom(R) Incorporated (Pink Sheets: SRTI), a leader in test and measurement solutions for telecom, wireless and cable networks, today announced the addition of VDSL2 test capabilities to its industry-leading Home Test Toolkit (HTT)(TM). Previously available only in North America, this ground-breaking test system is now available worldwide, giving more customers the opportunity to benefit from its powerful test capabilities as they vie for leadership during the transition to VDSL2.

"Sunrise Telecom's HTT is easy to use and packs enormous functionality into a small, inexpensive package. It's the only test set CenturyTel Technicians need for IPTV installation and troubleshooting in home triple play services," said Dennis White, Area Plant Supervisor for CenturyTel. "With the HTT, our teams can quickly identify and isolate problems, which greatly reduces the need to rewire homes, substantially cutting capital expenses and reducing install times by more than 25%."

The HTT, with thousands of units deployed, integrates an unprecedented range of test functions needed for in-home testing, and allows technicians to test key interfaces, signals, and functions at the customer location during installation. The HTT's unique next step logic guides technicians through the installation process, and indicates probable locations and causes of problems, speeding both installation and trouble-shooting.

"Revenue from new services like IPTV, VoD, high speed data and VoIP, depends on the successful rollout of FTTN architectures with VDSL2, and the consistent delivery of a high quality customer experience," said Jeff Heynen, Directing Analyst, IPTV and Next Gen OSS/BSS at Infonetics Research. "The Sunrise Telecom HTT offers comprehensive test capabilities that can speed deployment, bulletproof quality, and essentially help service providers achieve their revenue goals."

With nearly a dozen integrated test functions, the HTT ensures timely delivery of IPTV and other network services. The unit simplifies testing by providing automatic "go-no-go" test routines for VDSL, VDSL2, Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HPNA) networks, RF signal level meter, Ethernet, 802.11 WiFi, copper loop fault identification, Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) testing, ground continuity testing that verifies proper NID ground connection, and in-house wiring identification and testing. The lightweight unit easily clips to a technician's belt or drops into a tool bag and is powered by a rechargeable, field replaceable smart battery system.

"We are pleased with the high level of confidence that CenturyTel has placed in our HTT product and this new release brings a new set of enhancements to facilitate our customers' VDSL2 deployment," said Bahaa Moukadam, Sunrise Telecom's Vice President of Marketing. "With thousands of units already deployed, we are now making the HTT available worldwide to benefit a wider range of customers."

The HTT with VDSL2 is immediately available from Sunrise Telecom. In- field upgrades are available for existing HTT customers with a software option download. For sales information contact the company at info@sunrisetelecom.com.
