Network maintenance is a critical element in achieving the quality of service (QoS)
necessary for cable operators to compete with alternative communications providers.
One core requirement of any cable network maintenance plan is to ensure that a
system’s broadband frequency response in both the forward path (downstream)
and the return path (upstream) performs as required.
JDSU has a long history of integrating the high-level functions and advanced
technology necessary for maintaining cable networks into scalable hardware and
software platforms. Coupling the innovative Signal Analysis Meter (SAM) with
award-winning Stealth Sweep technology (Patent No. 5,585,842), JDSU delivers
sweep meter solutions unequalled in their ability to perform advanced tests and
measurements. These capabilities were integrated into the SDA-5000 series of
products, which soon earned its current industry-lead position.
JDSU introduced the DSAM (Digital Service Activation Meter) when DOCSIS
standards pushed the industry to adopt a common technology for delivering
flawless high-speed data and IP services. This award-winning, landmark meter
integrated JDSU’s well-known Service Analysis Meter (SAM) functions with
DOCSIS cable modem and PacketCable multimedia terminal adapter (MTA)
elements and a PC-based management and file system.
Now, JDSU has introduced the next Wavetek™ Field Meter, the DSAM-6000
Digital Services Analysis Meter. Recognizing that maintaining cable networks
requires more than sweep, JDSU combined the DSAM’s video, audio, and data test
functions with the SDA’s downstream forward path and upstream return path
sweep functions and created a rugged, multitechnology handheld that performs
in the harshest environments.
Because it uses the SDA's powerful Stealth Sweep technology, the DSAM-6000 can
be used with existing SDA rackmounted sweep gear, SDA-5500 and SDA-5510,
located at headend and hub sites. Additionally, the DSAM-6000 meters can sweep
side-by-side with SDA-5000 meters. Therefore, major modifications are not
required when DSAM-6000 meters are added to a department’s pool of meters.
