Sunrise Telecom Adds OTDR and Fiber Inspection Capabilities to RxT Mobile Backhaul and Business Service Test Solution

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunrise Telecom® Incorporated (OTC:SRTI) today announced the addition of the RxT-4000 Fiber Optics Toolkit (FOT) and the FiberScope inspection option to the company's award winning RxT™ Smart Productivity Test Platform.  The addition of the new modules provides additional test and verification capabilities for operators deploying fiber optic infrastructures that enable new voice and data business services, next-generation mobile communications and cloud-based applications.

"The deployment of fiber optics continues at a rapid pace worldwide, driven by next-generation mobile network turn-up as well as the installation of new high-performance metro and access links," explained Olga Yashkova, Frost and Sullivan Industry Analyst.  "Network deployment and maintenance tools such as the RxT Fiber Optics Toolkit are essential to ensure expedient and efficient infrastructure build-out and up-time assurance."

When paired with the rugged, battery-operated RxT Smart Productivity Test Platform, the RxT FOT module is an integral solution for installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance of Carrier Ethernet and SONET/SDH fiber optic cables. Combined with the RxT's large portfolio of modules, which include solutions for 10GE, SONET/SDH and T1/E1, the RxT can now test from physical layer to services with one test set, resulting in shorter learning and training time for users.

Using Sunrise Telecom's new fiber optics solution, communications service providers deploying new broadband networks can inspect fiber connectors, analyze fiber for impairments and, if necessary, pinpoint the location and identity of the impairments. The RxT FOT, which is available in multiple wavelength combinations for testing single-mode and multi-mode fibers, features fiber optics characterization which records event location and identity for the fiber under test.  The compact platform, which incorporates quad wavelength testing, and auto and manual mode configuration, offers a one-button 'Auto Test Mode' to simplify testing for even the most inexperienced user.  

RxT's productivity tools allow for remote access from anywhere through a web browser - requiring no additional software on the platform or web access device.  Utilizing Sunrise Telecom's realGate™ server offers field operations management the ability to easily track valuable assets remotely and manage valuable test and job order report information.

"The addition of the new Fiber Optic Test Toolkit to the growing portfolio of capabilities of our RxT platform enables our customers to efficiently and thoroughly validate next-generation Ethernet and Mobile networks," said Bahaa Moukadam, CEO of Sunrise Telecom.  "Our unique ability to outfit field personnel with a single platform which supports both new and legacy networks and provides a complete workflow optimization solution is the key to improving efficiencies and maximizing productivity for our customers.  Those rolling out new services to support next-generation bandwidth-intensive applications in the business and residential markets will certainly benefit from the advanced capabilities and unique productivity centric features of the RxT platform."

Controlled from a single hand-held set, the fully-connected, workflow-optimized, RxT Smart Productivity Test Platform enables field technicians to install, verify and troubleshoot 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE backhaul circuits and services.  Sunrise Telecom's mobile backhaul solution now includes the RxT- 4000 Fiber Optic Test Kit,  RxT FiberScope, RxT-2600 SHDSL.bis, RxT-2080 Dual T1, RxT-2270 E1, RxT-2380 SONET/SDH, and RxT-5000 10GE modules, which are all available today through the company's worldwide distribution channels.
