Sunrise Telecom(R) Incorporated's Comprehensive New NeTracker(TM) Suite Enables Triple Play Manufacturers and Service Providers to Efficiently Emulate and Troubleshoot Network Services


SAN JOSE, California, August 9 /PRNewswire/ --

- Video Over IP Testing and Analysis Suites on NeTracker enable multiple
users to perform emulation and monitoring simultaneously using a single box
to speed and improve Quality of Service


Sunrise Telecom(R) Incorporated (Nasdaq: SRTI), the leader in testing
and monitoring solutions for voice, video, data services and next-generation
digital multi-media, today announced the only complete solution designed to
troubleshoot and test next-generation network (NGN) applications in a single
unit, the Video Over IP Testing and Analysis Suites on NeTracker(TM). This
advanced suite integrates both the protocol analyzer and simulator to
provide focused analysis and testing of NGN services carried over the
Internet Protocol (IP) including digital video broadcasting, video on
demand, and video conferencing.

"For Telecom Operators deploying services over the IP network the
efficiency of the backbone and the quality of the services provided to final
users are the next generation challenges to overcome," said Andrea Baccolini,
Product Manager for NeTracker and Triple Play Services Over IP for Sunrise
Telecom Pro.Tel Division. "Sunrise Telecom's Video Over IP Suites enable
manufacturers and service providers to test and maintain the SLA and the
Grade of Services of their networks. With this new suite, NeTracker sets a
new standard in Triple Play applications diagnostic tools."

Designed to accommodate multiple users, the Video Over IP Testing and
Analysis Suites simplify and speed emulation and monitoring by enabling
operators to conduct multiple tests simultaneously using a single box. The
Video Over IP Testing and Analysis Suites' simulation capabilities are ideal
for testing media gateways and virtually every network element related to
traffic switching and management. Its monitoring functions allow operators
and technicians to troubleshoot video traffic carried at the top of IP
networks in real-time to ensure any problems are identified and corrected
nearly instantaneously.

Using NeTracker with these new test suites, telecom technicians as well
as maintenance, network planning, and QoS engineers for the first time can
emulate real user traffic in a lab environment ensuring performance issues
are corrected prior to deployment. In addition, after deployment, the Video
Over IP Testing and Analysis Suites provide real-time monitoring of actual
user traffic allowing technicians to troubleshoot and repair any problems the
instant they are flagged by the analyzer.

Video Over IP Testing and Analysis Suites give operators a comprehensive
selection of analysis including intrusive testing performed offline and
intrusive analysis performed real-time. By providing intrusive quality scores
of the video simulated over the IP, network element manufacturers and service
providers are able to determine whether or not their implementation of the
video codec algorithm is correct. Concurrently, the non-intrusive QoS scores
help service providers, cable and telecom operators identify potential or
actual impairments introduced by the IP network that degrade the quality of
the service delivered to the end customers.

By emulating real user traffic conditions in a lab environment with these
suites, Sunrise Telecom's NeTracker is able to generate audio and video
streams or audio and video sessions encoding the raw video file stream file
by the means of the most-used codecs and sending the encoded video file over
their packet-switched network. The tool allows the generation of video
streams encoded as per ITU H.263, H.261, H.264 and ISO MPEG2, MPEG 4
specifications using SIP, H.323 and MGCP protocols for signaling streams.
