PR Newswire (US)
QT-600 Ethernet and Triple-Play Test Probe Monitors More than 500
IPTV Transport Streams MILPITAS, Calif., and PARIS, Oct. 9
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today announced new IPTV transport
stream monitoring capability to its QT-600 Ethernet and triple-play
probe, part of JDSU's NetComplete service assurance IPTV offering
that is the only test solution on the market to address quality of
service (QoS) from the head end into the home. The QT-600 IPTV
transport stream monitoring capability -- which can track more than
500 streams -- strengthens the ability of service providers to
ensure accurate signaling and quality viewing. As IPTV content
travels through the content delivery chain, the QT-600 now helps
providers catch and resolve impairments that can be introduced
anywhere along that chain, all of which pose a threat to the end
user's IPTV quality of viewing experience. The ability to monitor
several hundred transport streams simultaneously also enables the
QT-600 to measure and calculate key IPTV quality indicators that
enable service providers to proactively detect quality degradations
before impacting the level of service to the customer. JDSU's
award-winning broadband service assurance solutions for IPTV and
VoIP service deployment will be on display at Broadband World Forum
in Paris, October 9-12, booth number 7002. The company's
NetComplete VoIP Service Assurance Solution will be recognized
during the show for winning the International Engineering
Consortium's (IEC's) 2006 InfoVision Award for Access Network
Technology and Services. "Service providers worldwide are deploying
IPTV to retain and attract new customers with a compelling package
of triple-play services," said John Govert, vice president and
general manager of JDSU's Service Assurance Solutions business
unit. "The QT-600 meets the crucial need to ensure error-free
transport for IP-based broadband services." Govert will address
IPTV deployment challenges and related test solutions at the
Broadband World Forum workshop called "Transitioning to the Future
-- Evolving the Legacy Network with Operational Excellence" on
Monday, October 9, 9am - noon. This discussion will include
executives from BT, France Telecom, Fujitsu Telecommunications,
Ovum-RHK, and WIND Telecomunicazioni. About JDSU's IPTV Test
