MILPITAS, California, March 12 /PRNewswire/ --

JDSU today announced that its service assurance test solutions have been
selected by Deutsche Telekom to support delivery of its IPTV service.

JDSU's NetComplete service assurance system and associated IP test probes
will be deployed in Deutsche Telekom's network. The NetComplete solution also
includes software that enables monitoring of service quality from central
network operations centers, increasing efficiency and reducing the need to
deploy technicians to the field. It ensures early recognition of changes in
the quality of the streaming video signals, including any decrease in signal
strength, prioritizes issues based on alarm levels, identifies the cause of
service quality problems and provides reporting tools.

"By selecting JDSU's NetComplete solution, service providers choose a
partner with worldwide experience in IPTV test," said Jerry Gentile, general
manager of JDSU's Service Assurance Solutions business segment. "Customer
demand for high-quality IPTV services is growing rapidly. In today's
intensely competitive environment, it is a strategic imperative to deploy
proven, cost-effective communications test solutions that help ensure service
quality and subscriber satisfaction."

The IPTV Challenge and NetComplete Solution

The most important aspect of sending TV and video content over IP
networks is ensuring picture quality for the consumer. Frozen pictures,
pixelization or lack of sound are among the service impairments that
challenge IPTV service providers to offer end users an experience that is as
good as or better than conventional TV. Without the right test solutions,
service providers risk the service impairments that reduce customer loyalty
and lead to subscriber churn.

JDSU's NetComplete offers a solution to address these challenges by
constantly monitoring IPTV video streams at the most important points in the
network. For example, NetComplete monitors IPTV signals at the head end as
they are fed into the telecommunications network, as well as at points of
presence throughout the network as signals leave the core network and enter
the access network. This end-to-end approach ensures the correlation, capture
and confirmation of network performance data necessary for top-quality
transmissions. Most importantly, NetComplete enables proactive measures to
address service issues before they diminish the end-user's experience. Over
time, the data generated and captured by NetComplete provides valuable
insight into the overall health and tendencies in the network.

JDSU's "head end-to-home" IPTV test solutions also include field
instruments such as the HST-3000, a triple-play services handheld tester
specifically designed to meet installation and maintenance needs for access
networks, including higher bit-rate triple play services like IPTV and HDTV.
