Rapid Adoption of Smart DevicesHigh-Bandwidth Applications Increases Need for Network Capacity Testing To Ensure Quality of End-User Experience

today announced that it has acquired Dyaptive Systems, a Vancouver, BC-based provider of capacity test solutions for 2G, 3G4G wireless networks.  Dyaptive test solutions support network capacity planningquality performance by emulating thousands of mobile devices precisely as consumers use them to post videos, photos, stream TV showsmovies,video chat with friends.  Dyaptive's products address a high-growth segment of the communications test marketgenerated revenue in the high single-digit millions during the trailing 12-month period. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

With mass adoption of mobile devices, wireless equipment manufacturersservice 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 providerstheir customers.

"Dyaptive's portfolio complements JDSU's  expansive set of wireless test tools, softwareservices, extending from the lab to the fieldall the way to the end user experience," said David Heard, president of JDSU's Communications TestMeasurement business segment.  "JDSU's focus on mobile service assurance is a key element of our growth strategy as dependence on wireless devices at home, workplay continues to explode worldwide."

Unlike other offerings that require racks of stripped down mobile devices, limiting the number of devices that can be emulatedthe real-world scenarios that can be tested, 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.  For example, at a rock concert with thousands of mobile phone users clustered in a high concentration, a number of users may try to stream video on their smart devices while others are sending pictures. By employing Dyaptive's emulation testing, a service provider would be able to prioritizemanage this high-bandwidth traffic flow to maximize network efficiency, while continuing to provide its customers with a high-quality experience.   

"JDSU shares our commitment to customer servicetechnology innovation,has the extensive global reach to enable further growth in establishedemerging wireless markets," said Joe Sutherland, presidentCEO of Dyaptive. "We believe this combination is a win-win for our customersour employees."

JDSU plans to retain Dyaptive's approximately 40 employees as well as its offices in Vancouver, BC.

This acquisition expands JDSU's leading communications test position in LTE trialsdeployments by extending network testing in the labsfield to devicesapplications. JDSU has announced LTE engagements with customers around the worldhas won recognition for its wireless test solutions from Internet Telephony, Frost & SullivanInforma.
