TELECOMWORLDWIRE-8 July 2008-Carphone Warehouse Networks selects JDSU test solutions(C)1994-2008 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com

JDSU (Nasdaq: JDSU) (TSX: JDU), a provider of communication test and measurement solutions and optical products, announced on Monday (7 July) that the company has entered into a contract to provide its service assurance test solutions to The Carphone Warehouse Networks (CPWN), a telecomms network in the UK and a division of the CPW group.

The CPW Group reportedly has over 4 million customer lines across its TalkTalk, AOL Broadband and Opal brands, including over 2.7 million residential broadband customers.

The company said that the JDSU service assurance system, NetComplete, will support the design, implementation and management of the Next Generation Network (NGN) for CPWN, covering both its residential and business customers via local loop unbundling.

The JDSU solution will be deployed at over 1,600 exchanges for TalkTalk, CPW's ISP operation, and is expected to play a significant role in the CPWN UK-wide fault management process carried out at their new service management centre (SMC) at Irlam, Manchester.

CPWN staff and technicians will use the solution to proactively troubleshoot complex physical and service layer faults, improve diagnostics accuracy, reduce time-to-repair and trouble ticket volume, as well as help demarcate problems between CPW and BT.

In addition the JDSU NetAnalyst Test Operating System (OS), a centralised test management platform, is being used as middleware between the CPWN front office OS and the QT-200.

Also, JDSU was awarded an expansion contract for an identical solution to support the AOL Broadband business as it further extends its UK service footprint.

Financial details were not available.
