Sunrise Telecom Introduces Next-Generation, Scalable Solution for Communications Network Testing.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 12, 2002 Scalable Test Toolkit Pioneers Innovations in Platform Architecture and Testing Applications Sunrise Telecom Incorporated (Nasdaq:SRTI), a leading provider of service verification equipment for telecommunications, cable TV, and Internet networks, today announced the launch of the Scalable Test Toolkit (STT STT State Street Corporation (stock symbol) STT Suomen Tietotoimisto (Finnish National News Agency) STT Secure Transaction Technology STT Surface Tension Transfer (welding) ), a next generation testing platform designed to meet the challenges associated with the design, installation, and maintenance of core, metro, and access networks. The STT provides best-in-class solutions for central office technicians installing and troubleshooting today's hybrid networks running over DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing metro rings - integrating DWDM analysis, fiber cable testing, SONET/SDH testing up to 10 Gbps, and Ethernet testing. The STT advances network testing with several unique DWDM and SONET/SDH testing capabilities. By transmitting on and dropping out individual DWDM channels, operators can bring the advantages and precision of Bit Error Rate testing to DWDM networks. Never before has such comprehensive payload analysis been possible from within the DWDM network. STT's platform modularity ensures that testing capabilities can evolve with the ever-changing communications network The transmission channels interconnecting all client and server stations as well as all supporting hardware and software. , protecting the user's investment for years to come. Its patent-pending stacking architecture offers unmatched flexibility. Within minutes, an STT can be transformed from a light, single module test set for the field to a multi-tasking combination test set for the lab. The multi-test architecture increases test efficiency. With the STT's unique stand-alone mode, users can operate any test module independently from the platform. The STT is based on Microsoft Windows See Windows. (operating system) Microsoft Windows - Microsoft's proprietary window system and user interface software released in 1985 to run on top of MS-DOS. Widely criticised for being too slow (hence "Windoze", "Microsloth Windows") on the machines available then. 2000(R), allowing users to seamlessly integrate testing with other operations including trouble ticket management, test reporting, and database operations. "Sunrise Telecom has earned a reputation for listening closely to our customers," said Paul Chang, Chief Executive Officer. "The reality of today's telecom environment calls for reducing capital and operating expenses Operating expenses The amount paid for asset maintenance or the cost of doing business, excluding depreciation. Earnings are distributed after operating expenses are deducted. , while at the same time deploying networks with more capacity, traffic density, and complexity than ever before. The STT addresses this situation. A test module deployed in stand-alone mode provides outstanding cost savings for service providers and equipment manufacturers. The intuitive user interface, multi-test architecture, and versatile feature set allow users to deploy and troubleshoot networks more quickly and effectively than ever before." Sunrise Telecom has accepted orders for the STT from major domestic and international service providers. Initial product shipments are expected to begin later this month.
