Extending the breadth and value of its SunSet Modular Test Toolkit (SSMTT) family,
Sunrise Telecom Incorporated today announced the SSMTT-41 module, an essential tool for triple play to the home deployments. This multi-function test tool is the only unit available to support VDSL line verification function and inside wiring tests in an integrated system. The SSMTT-41 includes a VDSL modem, HPNA analyzer, RF signal level meter, spectrum analyzer, and wiring test features in a single unit.
"Triple play deployments create unique and demanding installation and maintenance scenarios," said Steve Kim, product marketing manager at Sunrise Telecom. "The SSMTT-41 integrates all of the tests required to turn up a VDSL-based IPTV customer, both inside and outside the home, in a single tool. This allows our customers to speed deployment of service, simplify maintenance, and ensure end-user satisfaction."
The easy-to-use SSMTT-41 verifies that inside wiring is capable of supporting IPTV signals by analyzing the HPNA signals on the in-house coax or twisted-pair wiring. The unit verifies cable continuity, detects broken diplexers, provides cable identification and estimates the cable length. Additionally, the SSMTT-41 analyzes RF video signals and identifies interference utilizing the integrated RF signal level meter and spectrum analyzer functions.
By combining these critical test features into a single unit, Sunrise Telecom has created a unique and invaluable tool that dramatically accelerates installation and maintenance activities. By ensuring quality and reliability on every installation, service providers can keep maintenance costs to a minimum by reducing the number of truck rolls. The level of testing and quality assurance provided by the SSMTT-41 leads to high levels of customer satisfaction.
