“Spirent’s new platform
addresses our complex triple play testing needs and improves our
productivity in the lab significantly,” said Didier Balcaen, director
of the IPTC hosted integration activities. “With Spirent TestCenter
2.0, we are able to emulate and characterize an end-to-end Triple Play
network with 24,000 subscribers watching MS-IPTV, using VoIP
telephones, and browsing the internet simultaneously with quality of
service and quality of experience key performance indicators
monitoring.”
Using Spirent’s triple play test solutions, Alcatel-Lucent’s IP
Transformation Center (IPTC) lab in Antwerp can now validate QoS
algorithms on their triple play network at high subscriber loads, and
exceed all expectations to deliver unmatched subscriber quality of
experience (QoE). The IPTC lab employs the Spirent TestCenterTM GUI,
which easily converts test cases into automated scripts for
around-the-clock testing. They also use Spirent TestCenter 2.00 with
the L4-7 Triple Play bundled solutions to test with real H.264 video,
real voice using SIP, and real application data.
“Spirent is pleased to be able to arm Alcatel-Lucent with innovative
solutions that give it a competitive edge through testing,” said Rob
Piconi, chief operating officer, Spirent Communications. “Our test and
measurement solutions are much more than just boxes. Testing gives our
customers a strategic advantage to gain a greater return on their
investments, improve productivity and help ensure the quality of
experience for end users.”
From the lab to the live network, Spirent's solutions are aligned with
its customers' needs, allowing them to take full advantage of today’s
technologies while preparing for the future. Spirent TestCenter 2.0
delivers significant improvements in testing productivity during every
stage of product development and service creation to accelerate time
to market and reduce operational and capital expenses. The new
platform was built on the all-new Inspire ArchitectureTM in response
to the market’s growing demand for a test system that improves time to
market and reduces product development costs while ensuring the
highest subscriber quality of experience (QoE). |
