JDSU Introduces Special Edition of Managed Wireless Service Assurance Solution in Advance of Beijing Olympics

November 12, 2007

    MILPITAS, Calif. and MACAU, China, Nov. 12
/Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- JDSU today introduced a specially
designed edition of RoamerNet(R), its managed service
assurance solution for wireless network operators. The new
exclusive offering allows wireless operators to test
service performance at multiple Olympic venues in China
months before hundreds of thousands of wireless subscribers
travel to the games in Beijing next summer. RoamerNet helps
ensure quality of service and protects valuable roaming
revenue without requiring mobile operators to deploy fixed
test and measurement assets.

    JDSU has also introduced the "Mobile Service
Assurance Kit," providing information on best test and
measurement practices for wireless service assurance. The
kit includes a new white paper, "Managed Automated
Service Testing: Best Practices for Improving the Mobile
User's Experience," which addresses cost-effective
test approaches that can improve service performance and
reduce customer churn.

    The Beijing Olympics will take place in 37 venues
across seven cities and attendance is expected to total
more than half a million, including 500,000 visitors,
10,708 athletes, 70,000 volunteers, 17,600 press and 4,000
staff.  Mobile communications activity among these
travelers will be intense as they text, phone home, conduct
business, transmit photos and otherwise share their
experience with friends, family and business associates.
JDSU's RoamerNet allows operators to emulate subscriber
experience, including roaming conditions, in any location
in the world and to address network issues before they
negatively impact their customers.  

    "Quality of service is a critical business metric
for mobile content service providers -- this applies not
only to monitoring service quality on the network but also
the experience of customers roaming onto other operators'
networks," said Patrick Kelly, senior analyst, OSS
Observer. "As operators prepare their network for
roaming subscribers visiting the games, JDSU's RoamerNet
provides a cost-effective approach to managing service
quality for a diverse set of services." 

    "It is critical that mobile service providers take
steps to ensure service quality everywhere their customers
go," said Jerry Gentile, general manager of JDSU's
Service Assurance Solutions division. "RoamerNet gives
operators the ability to gauge and assess service
performance metrics that ultimately determine a wireless
subscriber's quality of experience. Wireless service
providers need to take action now in order to make sure
their networks are ready for the games next summer." 

    JDSU will showcase its wireless service assurance
solutions, including RoamerNet, at a number of upcoming
industry events, including: 

    -- GSMA Mobile Asia Congress, Macau, China, November
12-15, 2007 (JDSU 
       booth #K02, Hall D)

    -- GSMA Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, February
11-14, 2008 (JDSU booth 
       #2B97, Hall 2)

    More about RoamerNet

    An element of JDSU's Service Assurance Solutions
product portfolio, RoamerNet uses a worldwide footprint of
remote test probes, giving service providers a
subscription-based, turn-key solution to define and execute
customized, interactive tests on schedule or on-demand. Test
results on service-specific measurements are available in
real-time through the multi-user, secure RoamerNet Web
interface. To emulate the user experience, test probes
execute calls, attempt features, transfer files, open Web
pages and conduct other actions to gather measurements
including completion success rate, throughput, error rates
and latency on voice, messaging, data and video services.
