JDSU today introduced the first centralized remote Passive Optical Network (PON) test system, a unique solution that tests point-to-multi-point networks from the central office (CO) using a web browser. This application is a complementary application to the widely used JDSU Optical Network Management System (ONMS) that includes point-to-point fiber monitoring and GIS based outside plant documentation. The system supports service providers migrating to PON by delivering a fast and cost-effective method of turning up and restoring IPTV and other broadband services to meet users' quality of experience expectations.

"It's a competitive environment and communications service providers must find ways to cost-effectively deliver bandwidth-intensive applications like IPTV while meeting high quality standards," said Enzo di Luigi, general manager in JDSU's Communications Test and Measurement business segment. "PON makes it possible to service multiple subscribers at a competitive price and the JDSU centralized remote PON test system helps reduce operating expenses even further by limiting the amount of support needed for field turn-up and maintenance."
