Sunrise Telecom's SunLite GigE is the World's First Palm-size GigE Test Set

Offering a competitive advantage to the service providers, Sunrise Telecom (News - Alert) Incorporated, a provider of test and measurement solutions for telecom, cable and wireless networks, has announced the SunLite GigE, the world's first palm-size GigE tester. With this tool, telecom and broadband service providers can meet the strict demands of using Ethernet to deliver robust and differentiated services to their business and municipal customers.

 

The SunLite GigE offers features such as multi-stream, multi-service testing capability for installation and maintenance of differentiated Ethernet and triple-play services. It also provides the required functionality for quick and easy service provisioning. By eliminating the need for multiple test sets, a complete set of tests improves productivity and lowers operating expenses. Providing reliable performance, network and service quality can be tested across a variety of simultaneously stressed parameters.

 

Providing long battery life required for complete installation and maintenance of Metro Ethernet, IP services and network elements including switches and routers, the SunLite GigE is a compact and lightweight test set that boots-up rapidly and runs cool without a fan. Now, technicians with limited Ethernet or IP testing experience can verify performance parameters for Gigabit Ethernet services quickly with test set's intuitive graphical user interface, high resolution color screen, and simple test profile creation and sharing.

 

The SunLite GigE's traffic generation and measurements cater to the needs of the most demanding testing scenarios. Field technicians can verify end-to-end transport of Gigabit Ethernet/IP traffic, transmit and analyze eight independent streams and run test methodology based on RFC2544; all with the help of SunLite GigE. Technicians can use the SunLite GigE to determine throughput, link utilization, latency, and IP connectivity. With the accurate results available, technicians can quickly make pass/fail, go/no-go decisions. Copper and fiber GigE testing in the same tester is also possible with the SunLite GigE's 10/100/1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-X interfaces.

 

“Until now, the combination of high performance and high functionality were only found in bulky hard to use Ethernet testers. The SunLite GigE has transformed the landscape and is capturing the imagination of our customers through its unique combination of high performance, rich functionality and simplicity of use in the world's only palm size tester," said Bahaa Moukadam (News - Alert), Sunrise Telecom's Vice President of Marketing. "Telcos' and Cable Operators' urgent need for a quantum leap in productivity improvement and CapEx reduction has been addressed with this breakthrough product.”
