With the goal of accelerating deployment of IPTV services delivered over Fiber to the Node (FTTN) systems, Sunrise Telecom Incorporated announced its newly developed Home Test Toolkit (HTT) test set, designed specifically to facilitate the deployment of next-generation triple play services.

"Sunrise Telecom's new HTT will make a substantial difference in our customer's ability to rapidly scale IPTV and other advanced services deployment," said Robert Heintz, Vice President of North American Sales for Sunrise Telecom. "We're excited that the HTT has already been selected by a Tier 1 telephone service provider because it significantly speeds up installation times and ensures that consumers receive the highest performing, most reliable IP services available."

The HTT provides customers with a test tool specifically tailored to mass market FTTN deployment. This innovative product, integrating an unprecedented range of the test functions needed for in-home testing, allows technicians to test key interfaces and signals at the customer location during installation. The HTT's ability to integrate into the customer's back office systems allows results from each installation to be recorded accurately for analysis and quality control.

The Home Test Toolkit
The HTT is part of Sunrise Telecom's family of solutions. With more than ten integrated FTTN test functions, the HTT ensures timely delivery of IPTV and other network services. The unit provides automatic "go-no-go" test routines for VDSL, Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HPNA) networks, RF video, Ethernet, 802.11x wireless, copper loop fault identification, POTS (plain old telephone service) testing, and in-house wiring identification and testing. The HTT can upload detailed results of an installation test via Ethernet or wireless Bluetooth interfaces. The lightweight unit is powered by a rechargeable, field replaceable smart battery system, and easily clips to a technician's belt or drops into a tool bag.
