Sunrise Telecom Introduces Voice over IP Capability to its SunSet MTT Family

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sunrise Telecom Incorporated (NASDAQ:SRTI), a leading provider of service verification equipment for telecommunications and cable TV networks, today introduced a new plug-in module, the Voice over IP (VoIP) module for its SunSet MTT, Modular Test Toolkit platform. This latest development provides a true voice testing solution for both packetized voice and analog voice networks. With this module, technicians using the SunSet MTT will now have VoIP functionality in a convenient handheld unit the size of a common buttset.

The Voice over IP module supports applications on Ethernet (10/100T) and Analog (POTS) interfaces. It offers a complete set of testing with the support of SIP and H.323 protocols. In addition to its ease of use and IP phone emulation, it provides single ended R factor and MOS score measurements, key parameters for verifying successful VoIP service provisioning. Important functions like PING and trace route are also available for the convenience of the technician. The module's analog interface provides testing for Caller ID, Three way calling, and Loss Measurement.

"We have been offering VoIP test solutions for a long time, but with the explosion of new services, our customers needed this capability in our SunSet MTT family to address field installation issues," stated Simon Ip, Senior Product Manager for Access Technologies. "We are now the ultimate Voice over IP test solution provider, where our latest addition comes to complement our surveillance system TAMS and sophisticated protocol analyzers NeTracker and STT MSA," he continued. "This offers the most versatile solution for both MSOs (Multiple System Operators) as well as telecommunications service providers."

With more than 30 different test modules, the SunSet MTT platform gives service installers the industry's broadest solution for installing and troubleshooting voice and data wireline access applications. Such applications include T1/E1, T3/E3, SONET/SDH, ISDN, IP, VoIP, Gigabit Ethernet, Fiber Channel, ATM, Datacom, HSSI, x-DSL, OTDR, FTTx and triple play networks. This tool kit provides multi-layer diagnostic solutions -- allowing technicians to easily cross over between troubleshooting the physical, service, and network layers. The platform is inherently modular, offering flexibility for customers as their technology, network architecture, and budget change. This modularity provides a cost-effective solution so that customers can reduce their budget without sacrificing critical testing equipment.

The Voice over IP module, along with the entire SunSet MTT family and Voice over IP product family will be showcased at CeBit 2005 (March 10 to 16) in Hannover, Germany.
