ADTRAN Unveils Innovative Voice Quality Monitoring Technology in
NetVanta and Total Access VoIP Platforms
Graphical User Interface Eases Monitoring and Management of VoIP
Traffic
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) April 13, 2008 --
ADTRAN,® Inc.
(NASDAQ: ADTN), a leading supplier of innovative networking and
communications equipment today announced the availability of Voice
Quality Monitoring (VQM) as part of the ADTRAN Operating System
(AOS). Products that will support VQM include:
NetVanta® Routers, NetVanta IP Business
Gateways and Total Access® 900 Series IP
Business Gateways. ADTRAN's unique VQM suite allows network
administrators or carriers to examine the data stream and identify
problems, via an intuitive, graphic interface. Unlike other
implementations, ADTRAN's graphics-based approach presents findings in
an easy-to-use manner that significantly reduces the time devoted to
identifying and troubleshooting voice problems. This allows for a rapid
return to a high-quality service experience for Voice over IP (VoIP)
users.
ADTRAN's VQM is unique in that it provides a graphical interface that
allows network administrators to view both active and historical VoIP
call statistics. The easy-to-read analytical charts and graphs allow
service providers and administrators to assess overall network health
quickly and easily. It also allows them the ability to closely examine
areas with less than optimal call quality with the click of a mouse. VQM
looks at the most important aspects of voice calls: Mean Opinion Score
(MOS), delay, jitter and dropped or out-of-order packets. Administrators
have the ability to perform data searches by any given parameter,
including date, day, time, extension, VLAN, IP address, among others.
Multi-term searches are even more powerful and allow administrators to
pinpoint specific data by combining search terms such as searching for
traffic on a specific extension on a specific day in a specific time
range. This greatly expedites troubleshooting and problem resolution by
reducing the amount of time spent parsing through unwanted or unneeded
data.
“As midmarket customers embrace IPT, there is
an increasing need for simple, integrated toolsets to drive quality and
repeatability in the VoIP environment. These tools should offer
reporting, trending and call-by-call visibility to allow for rapid
trouble isolation and fine-grained optimization,”
said Robert Mason, principal research analyst, Gartner.
“Our approach to VQM stems from our desire to
make ADTRAN platforms the easiest on the market to install and manage,”
said Tim Saunders, vice president of product management, ADTRAN
Enterprise Networks Division. “When users
experience poor voice quality, most don't know what type of problem they
are experiencing; they just know it sounds bad. Our VQM implementation
allows network administrators to quickly identify the problem(s) and
investigate the source of the trouble quickly and easily via a
non-invasive graphical interface.”
VQM is currently available as part of the AOS at no additional charge.
Platforms supporting VQM include:
Routers:
NetVanta 1335
NetVanta 3120
