Sunrise Telecom, a US provider of test and measurement solutions for telecom, wireless and cable networks, has added VDSL2 testing capability to its Home Test Toolkit, developed to optimise the delivery of IPTV and other network services.

The Home Test Toolkit, now available worldwide, integrates nearly a dozen test functions and allows technicians to test key interfaces, signals and functions at the customer location during installation. The toolkit is designed to work on VDSL, VDSL2, Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HPNA) networks, RF signal level meter, Ethernet, 802.11 WiFi, copper loop fault identification, Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) testing, ground continuity testing and in-house wiring identification and testing.

"Sunrise Telecom's HTT is easy to use and packs enormous functionality into a small, inexpensive package," said Dennis White, Area Plant Supervisor for CenturyTel, a US provider of IPTV services. "It's the only test set CenturyTel Technicians need for IPTV installation and troubleshooting in home triple-play services. With the HTT, our teams can quickly identify and isolate problems, which greatly reduces the need to rewire homes, substantially cutting capital expenses and reducing install times by more than 25%."
