JDSU has announced an agreement to acquire Test-Um, an industry-leading provider of home networking test instruments for the FTTx and digital cable markets.
The acquisition, which creates new sales channels for Test-Um's home networking product portfolio and JDSU's existing set of field test instruments for broadband access networks, is expected to be formalised in the current quarter.
The rapid adoption of IP-based voice, data and video services makes it a strategic imperative that telecoms and cable network operators deploy broadband triple-play test solutions that extend from the core network into the home. According to JDSU, Test-Um adds to its triple-play test expertise and product portfolio, bringing an extensive set of home-wiring test instruments for the verification, installation and maintenance of Category 3, Category 5 and coaxial cables used in home and small office networks for the delivery of VoIP, IPTV and other services.
Test-Um's 'three-wire' test instruments verify the ability of home wiring to support the reliable delivery of new, high-bandwidth voice, data and video services throughout the home. Instruments include test sets for verifying line conditions and power-signal levels, wireless testers that facilitate communications on the job, tone tracing and identification to locate and track cable runs, and analysers for more advanced service troubleshooting and certification.
