MILPITAS, Calif. -- JDSU today announced that Eurofiber, the leading specialized provider of managed dark fiber in the Benelux, has purchased JDSU’s Optical Network Management System (ONMS) to monitor the quality of service of its dark fiber network infrastructure. The agreement includes options for future service level agreement (SLA) and network support.

The JDSU ONMS was selected by Eurofiber because it enables real-time service, test and performance monitoring over active/live fiber, which improves quality of service, especially for broadband services. JDSU’s ONMS also helps Eurofiber reduce time and costs associated with network troubleshooting, operation and maintenance and delivers automatic operation and maintenance tasks, allowing Eurofiber to guarantee its high-quality service to customers.

“The JDSU monitoring system enables us to guarantee the highest possible availability and reliability of our network and thus gives us a tool to give our customers the best possible service,” said Joost Goderie, CEO of Eurofiber.

“As companies like Eurofiber provide fiber services to the market, they require greater efficiency not just within the last mile, but throughout the fiber networks interlacing with other systems inside and outside their markets,” said Enzo di Luigi, general manager of JDSU’s fiber optics Test and Measurement group. “Deploying the JDSU ONMS allows Eurofiber to confront head-on the capacity challenges associated with network deployment, and we are pleased to be working with the company to bring reliable dark fiber to customers throughout Benelux.”

MILPITAS, Calif. -- JDSU today announced its T-BERD/MTS-8000 optical test platform has been selected by Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the nation’s largest public power producer. The JDSU T-BERD 8000, one of the industry’s most innovative test solutions for the installation and maintenance of next generation networks, enables customers in the enterprise and telecommunications industry to ensure the reliable delivery of high-bandwidth DWDM and Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) services.

TVA will use the T-BERD 8000 to support OC-192, OC-48 and GigE services over its "Power WAN" DWDM network. The capabilities of the T-BERD 8000 include transport testing and optical spectrum analysis. The lightweight, scaleable design of the T-BERD 8000 enables customers to quickly and reliably increase the capabilities of their test equipment based on changing network requirements.

“Enterprise customers are rapidly scaling their networks to GigE performance levels, and our customers are meeting and exceeding those high quality-of-service bandwidth demands,” said Jerry Gentile, general manager of JDSU’s Telecommunication Field Services (TFS) Test and Measurement group. “The T-BERD/MTS-8000 enables the rapid and cost-effective deployment of this new technology and we look forward to working with TVA to ensure the quality, flexibility and continued innovation of its services.”
