GOMARINGEN, Germany, May 22 /PRNewswire/ --

- RealWORX(TM) Web is the only system to perform both ingress and RF performance monitoring, providing technical staff with the tools to proactively and effectively minimize cable modem and RF Signal quality problems.

Sunrise Telecom(R) Incorporated (Pink Sheets: SRTI), a leader in test and measurement solutions for today's telecom, wireless and cable networks, today announced RealWORX(TM) Web, the industry's most comprehensive monitoring system for RF CATV and broadband communications services. RealWORX is the most complete and cost-effective RF monitoring system available on the market today, and the only ingress monitoring system capable of monitoring above 65 MHz. The frequency band above 65MHz allows operators to better detect laser clipping which is a largely misunderstood network condition that erodes data quality of service. Visit Sunrise Telecom's Halle 10.2, Stand B68 at ANGA Cable, May 27 - 29, in Cologne, Germany.

"Competition among video providers continues to heat up, which means video quality is becoming an essential differentiator," said Jeff Heynen, Directing Analyst, IPTV and Next Gen OSS/BSS, Infonetics Research. "The RealWORX monitoring system provides more functionality and flexibility in a single system than competing systems while simultaneously meeting the pressing need for CATV headend and hub site monitoring, as well as Video Hub Office (VHO) and Video Serving Office (VSO) monitoring for telcos."

RealWORX improves network performance and availability by alerting operators to impairments before they have serious effects. For example, lifeline voice and other high-speed data related services are degraded when ingress related impairments are not identified. By constantly monitoring both upstream and downstream channel performance on the CATV system, operators can proactively identify and eliminate these often subtle impairments prior to service degradation.

This innovative, web-based platform is the only monitoring system to use a high-end lab-grade spectrum analyzer, making it possible to detect and capture extremely low level RF impairments like transients, Common Path Distortion (CPD) and noise floor degradation, which are invisible to competing systems.

RealWORX constantly monitors digital and analog measurement parameters storing these results as historical data. Special graphs display the measurement deviations over time. In-depth views allow individual channel results to be displayed graphically over time. In addition, a unique dashboard provides overall health status information for each node, while the node status menu makes it easy for technicians to drill down and isolate individual alarm conditions.

The RealWORX web-based platform ensures that operators can control the monitoring application from any location using a standard web browser. Since RealWORX utilizes industry-standard MySQL database and XML file formats, third party applications are easily integrated.

RealWORX is immediately available from Sunrise Telecom. For sales information contact the company at info@sunrisetelecom.com. For sales information in Germany, call +49-07072-9289-50 or fax +49-07072-9289-55.
