Financial terms were not disclosed.

The rapid adoption of IP-based voice, data and video services makes it a strategic imperative that telecommunications and cable network operators deploy broadband triple-play test solutions that extend from the core network into the home. Test-Um and its 30 employees add to JDSU's triple-play test expertise and product portfolio, bringing an extensive set of home-wiring test instruments for the verification, installation and maintenance of Category 3, Category 5 and coaxial cables used in home and small office networks for the delivery of VoIP, IPTV and other services.

"The deployment of broadband networks and the widespread availability of affordable broadband Internet access are driving adoption of new video and other advanced communications services for the home," said John Peeler, executive vice president of JDSU's Communications Test and Measurement (T&M) Group. "With our acquisition of Test-Um, JDSU will add an important set of test instruments to help our customers quickly, efficiently and reliably deliver the IP-based triple play services consumers are demanding." Test-Um will be integrated into JDSU's Communications Test and Measurement Product Group.
