network deployment in Brazil. JDSU’s solutions help
ensure high-quality network installation and reliable
service performance for one of Brazil’s largest wireless
service providers.
The company’s
successful expansion into the radio frequency (RF) and
field test market is based on its global distribution
channels and an exclusive partnership with GenComm.
GenComm designs and manufactures handheld instruments
for the troubleshooting and maintenance of wireless base
stations and repeaters.
With a strong
RF test solution offering, JDSU has established a
leading portfolio of test solutions for backhaul and
core transport facilities that support mobile and
wireline networks.
“JDSU’s
partnership with GenComm has allowed us to quickly
provide our customers with wireless test instruments for
existing installation and maintenance requirements while
positioning us for emerging next generation 4G
technologies such as long-term evolution (LTE) and WiMAX
test solutions,” said Bart Freedman, senior vice
president in JDSU’s Communications Test and Measurement
business segment sales.
