Broadband Across America from JDSU

MILPITAS, CA – JDSU launched “Broadband@Work Across America,” a campaign to help raise
awareness and educate rural service providers on the technical issues and
challenges that could impact their ability to successfully deploy broadband
services in towns across the country.

The campaign is inspired by the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,
which provides $7.2 billion to accelerate broadband service deployment to
rural and under-served regions in the nation. The first deadline for broadband
stimulus grant applications was recently completed on August 20, 2009, and two
more will be scheduled until all funding is awarded on September 30, 2010.

Broadband@Work Across America leverages JDSU’s decades of expertise in
broadband network test and management solutions as well as optical components
and equipment, to help rural telecommunications providers use stimulus funds
to deploy broadband services through fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), digital
subscriber line (DSL), wireless, and hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) systems, among
others.

JDSU’s Broadband@Work Across America campaign will be featured at OSP Expo
2009 in Minneapolis, September 2-3, booth #508. JDSU will be exhibiting its
leading broadband test and measurement solutions and displaying the new
campaign theme, literature, special offers, giveaways and other supporting
materials.

“With proper testing, rural telecommunications providers can avoid facing
technical issues in their broadband deployments that cost time and money,”
said Dave Holly, president of JDSU’s Communications Test and Measurement
business segment. “JDSU’s Broadband@Work Across America campaign offers
information, training and solutions to help providers deploy broadband
services as quickly as possible.”
