SAN JOSE, Calif., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sunrise Telecom(R) Incorporated (Pink Sheets: SRTI), a leader in test and measurement solutions for telecom, wireless and cable networks, today announced a new corporate management structure as part of its organizational restructuring that began several months ago. The new integrated structure will allow the company to leverage its technologies, expertise and products to better address the market's needs and speed key business decisions.

As part of the restructuring, Gerhard Beenen, chief operating officer has left the company effective June 30, 2008. Mr. Beenen joined Sunrise Telecom in August 2006 as President and General Manager of the Telecom Products Group. In May 2008, Mr. Beenen was promoted to the position of chief operating officer.

Commenting on the announcement, Paul Marshall, president and CEO, acknowledged Mr. Beenen's contributions to Sunrise Telecom, "Gerhard has been a valuable leader and we thank him for all he has done. His accomplishments include improving the development processes, better positioning the company for RoHS and environmental compliance and driving overall efficiencies."

A key element of the reorganization process was combining the broadband, wireline and fiber optics operations into a single business which mirrors the convergence of the industry. This new structure has resulted in the elimination of duplications and redundancies in the organization, including eliminating the position of chief operating officer. The key functional areas will now report to the CEO.

"This new executive alignment will allow Sunrise Telecom to better focus the management team's efforts to achieve profitable growth, and deliver world-class solutions to its customers," said Paul Marshall, CEO.
