Triple Play is the new buzz word. What does it mean?

It refers to three services, voice, data and video, that customers require today for 21st century living. These three services travel over the premise cabling, which needs to be tested and qualified to assure good quality signals with adequate capacity. Tri-Porter is our answer to this need, with its multi-functional, broad-based capabilities. It is the natural evolution of Test-Um’s core strengths, Test, Talk and Trace, in one all-encompassing product. Tri-Porter will make your job of testing and configuring cables easier, faster and more accurate, at a cost that is a fraction of what you would expect to pay.
