Sunrise Telecom® Provides Preliminary Fourth Quarter Revenue Results, Exceeds Guidance

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 22 -- Sunrise Telecom® Incorporated (OTC: SRTI.PK), a leading provider of service verification equipment for telecommunications, cable broadband and Internet networks, today announced preliminary revenue results for the fourth quarter 2006. The company now expects its fourth quarter revenues to be in the range of $35 to $36 million, significantly above the guidance range of $27 to $30 million that it provided on November 3, 2006. The company believes that fourth quarter performance was driven to a large extent by accelerating deployment of triple play services in North America.

Sunrise Telecom President and CEO, Paul Marshall said, “Clearly the triple play initiatives by major US carriers served as a strong growth catalyst for Sunrise Telecom last year. Preliminary results indicate that for the full year 2006 our revenues increased by an impressive 40%. We expect that the favorable market environment for our products will persist in 2007 as our customers equip their central offices and their field technicians with a broad range of testing tools in support of the FTTx initiatives.”

In February Sunrise Telecom expects to announce final results for the 2006 fourth quarter and full year.
