SAN JOSE, Calif., July 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunrise Telecom® Incorporated (OTC: SRTI) today posted its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Sunrise Telecom reported revenue of $6.4 million for the quarter, compared to $8.9 million for the second quarter of 2010. Operating costs declined to $5.5 million during the second quarter of 2011 from $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2010. Second quarter net loss was $(2.2) million, or $(0.04) per share, compared to $(0.2) million in the second quarter of 2010. EBITDA for the quarter was $(1.7) million, compared to $0.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

The company attributed second quarter 2011 loss to delayed orders from key accounts, channel transition in North America and a longer than expected sales cycle for the company's new RxT™ Smart Productivity Test Platform.

"Our second quarter 2011 results are a further indication that we will require ongoing investment in channel expansion in order to fully exploit the potential for our new products," said Bahaa Moukadam, Sunrise Telecom's chief executive officer. "We anticipate improved adoption of the RxT and other new products from major accounts in the second half of the year."

In the second quarter, Sunrise Telecom announced several new RxT modules which represent the first single-platform for mobile backhaul field verification. TMCLabs has honored the RxT mobile backhaul solution with a 2011 Innovation Award, exemplifying the best and the most unique products and services that this industry has to offer.

"Our award winning RxT Smart Productivity Platform is creating significant interest and we have secured major design wins from tier one operators," added Bahaa Moukadam. "The RxT offers unique capabilities such as IntelliSAM™ bandwidth profile verification for business service activation and is well positioned to resolve the growing need for productivity improvement for operators tasked with deploying and maintaining new wireless services."

Sunrise Telecom also announced that its board of directors approved a new stock repurchase program covering up to $1.0 million of company stock during the next 12 months.
