PR Newswire (US)
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.
