Sunrise Telecom develops innovative communications test and measurement solutions for telecom, cable and wireless service suppliers. The company's solid portfolio of feature-rich, easy-to-use products enable service providers to offer premium voice, video, data and next-generation digital multimedia services quickly, reliably, and cost-effectively.

Sunrise Telecom Incorporated has revealed today the availability of its latest STT 40G, a 40G/43G test system created to verify the performance of new, high-bandwidth synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH), optical transport networks (OTN) and SONET networks. The demand for high-bandwidth solutions continues to grow quickly, placing severe requirements on service suppliers to rapidly upgrade their transport networks with 40G/43G technology, while economic conditions demand capital expenditures to be minimized. Sunrise Telecom's STT 40G meets these challenges by enabling communications providers to enhance their test portfolio for successful 40G/43G optical networks deployment without completely replacing lower rate test sets.

Michael Howard, principal analyst and co-founder of Infonetics Research remarked "40G SDH/SONET and 43G OTN are the latest high capacity technologies being deployed over DWDM as carriers upgrade to meet growing bandwidth demand. To test, deploy, operate, and maintain peak network performance, service providers need correspondingly new tools to verify transport network performance. The STT 40G is designed for these high speed service functions while also minimizing equipment investments."

The STT 40G has widespread applications in pre-deployment test labs, central offices and in the field. The STT 40G can be set up in central offices and key points of presence by communication service suppliers, including telcos, cable operators, wireless service providers, long haul and trans-oceanic (fiber) transport companies, throughout their main networks as they bring 40G/43G links into service, troubleshoot and maintain their networks. With the STT 40G, network equipment manufacturers can arm their installation and maintenance crews to verify successful network element turn-up.

"As super-high-bandwidth links, like OTU3, STM-256 or OC-768 carry more user traffic, a single failure could have a catastrophic impact on a large subscriber base and create a major crisis for service or transport providers. Communications providers need powerful and comprehensive testing procedures and tools to appropriately provision these mission critical circuits. Unlike other 40G testers on the market today, the Sunrise Telecom STT 40G has been designed with an intense focus on extreme user friendliness while at the same time being able to perform comprehensive 40G/43G link performance and reliability testing enabling communications providers to deliver reliable services to their customers", added Bahaa Moukadam, Sunrise Telecom's vice president of marketing.

The STT 40G can be ordered immediately from the company. The product will be shipped starting December 2008.For more details visit http://www.sunrisetelecom.com/sales/contact.html.
