European Telecom Carrier Selects Sunrise Telecom XTT 5000 Test Equipment

July 26, 2010 - Sunrise Telecom Inc. says that a Tier 1 European telecommunications carrier has selected its XTT 5000 handheld test gear. Sunrise declined to identify the carrier by name.

The XTT 5000 has dual port capabilities for simultaneously testing two Fibre Channel links. The XTT 5000 also provides testing for the installation and maintenance of 10-Gigabit Ethernet, gigabit metro Ethernet, and IP services.

With the latest option, the XTT 5000 enables service providers to test the 1G, 2G, and 4G Fibre Channel links used to connect storage area network services employed for high-bandwidth tasks, such as transactional activity in the banking and finance industries, Sunrise Telecom says.

Bahaa Moukadam, Sunrise Telecom’s CEO, said the European carrier chose the XTT 5000 because it simplifies the test and measurement process, saving the carrier time and allowing for more productive use of test and measurement resources in the field. Moukadam added the carrier also commended the XTT 5000’s overall feature set and user interface as well as its compact size and its light weight compared with competing test and measurement solutions.

The Dual Port Fibre Channel option for the XTT 5000 is available today from Sunrise Telecom as a field-upgradeable option.
