In response to
increasing consumer demand for high-quality IP services, EXFO has
developed a complete solution that will enable network service
providers (NSPs) to deploy triple-play services faster, easily
integrate them into their current operations and offer maintenance
tools to preserve the highest quality of service. The NQMSpacket IP
Services monitoring platform leverages EXFO's expertise in IP test and
measurement as well as broad technology base to deliver a solution
focused on reducing time-to-revenue and mean-time-to-repair. As a
result, a high level of customer satisfaction is maintained while
customer churn is reduced to a minimum.
The NQMSpacket management system is a highly configurable, yet
intuitive, probe management software that provides the user with a
centralized, real-time view of network-wide IPTV and Ethernet services
including alarms and configurations as well as powerful trending tools
for detailed troubleshooting. The management software works in concert
with the RTU-300 hardware probe that delivers numerous real-time
metrics for IPTV and Ethernet services including media delivery index
(MDI), TR 101 290, jitter, bandwidth utilization and other IP metrics.
Management features include configurable alarm thresholds, remote
software upgrades and detailed report generation.
"The NQMSpacket solution, the second major announcement this year for
EXFO's growing network assurance business unit, demonstrates our
commitment to offer customers a unique series of quality assurance
solutions that leverage advanced test and measurement know-how," said
Etienne Gagnon, EXFO's Vice-President of Product Management and
Marketing. "As customers are rolling out new triple-play services,
they are increasingly looking at EXFO as their vendor of choice to
provide them with value-added test and monitoring capabilities. With
the NQMSpacket Quality Assurance System, we are now offering a
solution that will help them reduce mean-time-to-repair, accelerate
revenue generation and lower customer churn by delivering the latest
tools to manage and proactively maintain their IP networks."
