JDSU has acquired Dyaptive Systems, a provider of
capacity test solutions for 2G, 3G and 4G wireless networks. Dyaptive test
solutions support network capacity planning and quality performance.
This acquisition expands JDSU’s communications test
position in LTE trials and deployments by extending network testing in the labs
and field to devices and applications. JDSU has announced LTE engagements with
customers around the world.
Dyaptive’s products address a high-growth segment of the
communications test market and generated revenue in the high single-digit
millions during the trailing 12-month period.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Wireless equipment manufacturers and service providers
need network performance visibility that extends to the end user experience.
Dyaptive provides subscriber emulation systems for wireless technologies,
including emerging long term evolution (LTE)/4G being deployed by service
providers worldwide.
These solutions emulate high-bandwidth applications, such
as streaming video across multiple wireless devices, to ensure quality
performance for service providers and their customers.
“Dyaptive’s portfolio complements JDSU’s expansive
set of wireless test tools, software and services, extending from the lab to
the field and all the way to the end user experience. JDSU’s focus on mobile
service assurance is a key element of our growth strategy as dependence on
wireless devices at home, work and play continues to explode worldwide,”
said David Heard, president of JDSU‘s Communications Test and Measurement
business segment.
Dyaptive offers a software-defined, radio-based solution
that cost-effectively scales to thousands of application-loaded mobile devices.
The solution yields critical information used to make intelligent decisions on
managing network traffic. By employing Dyaptive’s emulation testing, a service
provider will be able to prioritize and manage traffic flow to maximize network
efficiency, while continuing to provide its customers with a high-quality
experience.
“JDSU shares our commitment to customer service and
technology innovation, and has the extensive global reach to enable further
growth in established and emerging wireless markets,” said
Joe Sutherland, president and CEO of Dyaptive.
JDSU plans to retain Dyaptive’s approximately 40
employees as well as its offices in Vancouver, BC.
Recently
JDSU announced that its drive test solution offers wireless carriers an LTE
network analysis tool accessible through an Android smartphone.
The application simplifies LTE radio frequency service
verification and troubleshooting while reducing network management costs.
Smartphones that are enabled with JDSU’s LTE RF optimization application allow
engineers to perform real-life test scenarios as LTE networks are being trialed
and established.
