About the SmartClass TPS
The SmartClass TPS is an all-in-one tool that fully test the access network (copper, fiber, POTS,
and ADSL2+/VDSL2 including bonded pairs) as well as broadband services (data, VoIP, and IP
video) so technicians can rapidly correlate and resolve triple-play service problems to potential
physical-layer causes.
The JDSU SmartClassTPS (<product name>) tester helps field technicians who roll out broadband
access networks and services deliver a pristine copper access infrastructure that can support triple-
play services and meet critical quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) require-
ments.
This all-in-one DSL tester tool can test copper, fiber, asymmetrical and very high speed digital
subscriber lines including bonded VDSL2 pairs Internet Protocol (IP) data, voice over IP (VoIP), and
IP video with straightforward pass/fail results and detailed analysis of physical-and application-
layer-related problems.
The OneCheck and VideoCheck one button automated testing applications help technicians signif-
icantly reduce testing times and improves overall quality. The SmartClass TPS verifies the physical
health of the access copper loop, digital subscriber line (DSL) performance, and QoS/QoE of triple-
play services to ensure that field technicians have successfully completed the installation and repair
job. Operators and service providers can more quickly locate and repair faults and, thus, guarantee
their service quality.
