Paradyne and Sunrise Telecom Announce Partnership Agreement Sunrise to Add ReachDSL Technology to Field Test Sets SAN JOSE, Calif., June 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Paradyne (NASDAQ:PDYN), a leading provider of broadband voice, data, and video network access solutions, and Sunrise Telecom Incorporated (NASDAQ:SRTI), a leading provider of service verification equipment for telecommunications and cable TV networks, announced today a marketing cooperation agreement to provide testing solutions for Paradyne's ReachDSL(TM) broadband access solution. The partnership will provide customers with the industry's first field test solution for deploying ReachDSL. This allows customers to pre-qualify, install and maintain copper loops for ReachDSL service. Using the industry-standard SunSet MTT test set, network providers will improve service availability and reliability while reducing truck rolls. "With this development, field technicians will now have the tools to immediately see ReachDSL performance when typical ADSL fails due to noise on the line, distance limitations, or other loop problems," said William Cobb, Vice President of Product Management at Paradyne. "Sunrise Telecom is trusted by our service provider customers worldwide for access test and measurement. Adding ReachDSL technology to the Sunrise Telecom SunSet MTT is a natural fit." "Adding ReachDSL technology to our SunSet MTT family enriches our DSL product portfolio and demonstrates our continued commitment and leadership in the DSL test arena," said Cyrille Morelle, Director of Product Marketing for Access Technologies at Sunrise Telecom.
