Major North American Service Provider Taps JDSU's QT-50 Service Assurance
Software Agent for VoIP Transition at Major Corporate Account
MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today
announced an innovative new software agent that helps ensure
business-class, high quality of service (QoS) for providers supporting the
large-scale transition of their business customers to Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) service. An integral part of JDSU's NetComplete Service
Assurance VoIP portfolio, the QT- 50 equips providers with the critical
ability to proactively monitor and troubleshoot issues and evaluate metrics
that can affect voice quality - such as mean opinion score (MOS), R-factor,
jitter, packet loss, and packet statistics -- by simulating the IP call
experience as if at the customer premise.
This new solution as well as JDSU's complete VoIP and IPTV test
portfolio will be on display at VON 2006, Boston, September 11-13, booth
number 249.
The QT-50 works together with JDSU's industry-leading operations
support systems (OSS), called NetAnalyst and NetOptimize, to deliver both
on-demand testing and performance management capabilities. It places and
receives active test calls between other software agents and JDSU QT probes
(such as the QT- 600 Ethernet and triple-play probe) deployed across a
provider's network. By creating meshes of synthetic VoIP calls throughout
the network, it proactively identifies potential degradations end-to-end
(i.e., between hundreds of office buildings) for continuous and active
monitoring of VoIP quality, helping providers gain a solid understanding of
their customer's VoIP service experience. The measurements and reports
generated by the QT-50 provide the key QoS metrics needed to instill
confidence that call signal and voice clarity are of an exceptional level
and meet customer expectations.
"JDSU is proud to deliver service providers a confidence-builder when
transitioning their business customers' phone networks to VoIP service,"
said Roger Lingle, vice president of marketing for JDSU's Service Assurance
Solutions business unit. "The QT-50 is a highly flexible, light weight
software agent that performs the vital task of extending the visibility of
VoIP performance all the way to what the end user would experience."
A major North American service provider has selected the JDSU QT-50 to
support a VoIP deployment contract currently underway, supporting one of
its major business customer's transition to VoIP across hundreds of remote
offices.
