Testers team up
Minacom, a leading VoIP test solution provider for Cable MSOs, and Tollgrade, a leading supplier of network service assurance products, announced a strategic alliance to deliver advanced, integrated testing solutions for VoIP over cable networks. Tollgrade’s widely deployed DOCSIS-based Status Monitoring Cheetah Transponders and recently-released End-of-Line (EOL) probes will now feature embedded Minacom VoIP testing technology, allowing the units to act as responders for test calls placed by Minacom PowerProbe 6000 test probes. Using Minacom’s Patent-Pending softswitch integration, tests are conducted over actual PacketCable Dynamic Quality of Service (DQoS) voice channels, providing true user-perceived VoIP service quality testing throughout the hybrid fibre / coax (HFC) network.
An industry first, the integrated remote-testing solution can significantly reduce the time required to identify, isolate and diagnose VoIP service issues, while also providing proactive, real-time monitoring to detect service level degradation before quality issues affect subscribers. Test automation, results analysis, service level classification, fault management and reporting are controlled by Minacom’s DirectQuality R7 web-based OSS, already deployed by over 70 service providers worldwide.
The strategic alliance between Minacom and Tollgrade will focus on further developing and co-marketing integrated triple-play, service level test solutions for Cable MSOs and Telcos, helping them to provide the best possible VoIP, digital Video, and Internet services to their subscribers.
