Communications test and assurance tools support evolution of converged IP-based infrastructures in next-generation networksCHICAGO, GLOBALCOMM 2006, Booth 42057, June 5, 2006
Agilent Technologies (NYSE: A) today introduced triple-play test and assurance solutions that support the evolution of converged IP-based infrastructures that can transmit data, voice and video over a single wireline or wireless network in real time. As the triple-play services industry continues to grow, network equipment manufacturers, service providers, cable installers and network operators seek products that simplify the complexity of test and management. The new tools help to validate consumer products under real-world conditions, and deliver the quality of experience (QoE) that is expected in today's digital market. These products can successfully and efficiently manage user demands in a cost-effective manner, and identify issues affecting next-generation networks. The Agilent N2X Multiservices Test Solution Agilent's N2X multiservices test solution validates data, voice and video services over MPLS/IP core, carrier edge and broadband access infrastructures. Network equipment manufacturers and service providers can identify -- before they deploy their networks -- whether access network equipment can deliver IPTV QoE expectations for each subscriber under highly scaled and dynamic environments. The Agilent N2X replaces the need to test with a lab full of set-top-boxes and video sources, providing engineers with significant lab-space, financial and time savings. More information about the Agilent N2X is available at www.agilent.com/find/n2x-pr. The Agilent FrameScope Pro Agilent's FrameScope Pro handheld Gigabit Ethernet troubleshooting and benchmarking tool allows network operators to conduct deployment testing of all triple-play elements -- data, voice and video services -- all in one solution. Telecommunications and Internet service providers are able to make the most efficient use of their IP-based networks that need to offer adequate transport performance, low latencies and high elasticity against bandwidth congestion. More information about the FrameScope Pro is available at http://www.agilent.com/find/fspro-pr. The Agilent Signaling Analyzer UTRAN Optimizer The Signaling Analyzer's UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) Optimizer enables engineers to maximize 3G resources and QoE by providing expert characterization of UMTS and HSDPA access networks. It provides insight into the UTRAN's resource allocation, utilization and performance. Service providers and network equipment manufacturing labs can take advantage of industry-leading performance in traffic capture and streaming for greater flexibility and efficiency, and less complex systems verification and problem resolution. More information about this product is available at www.agilent.com/find/sart-pr. The Agilent Network Tester Agilent's Network Tester for realistic triple-play traffic testing offers the industry's broadest range of application data, voice and video protocols to deliver unprecedented test realism and measurement precision. Manufacturers and operators can avoid costly service disruption problems by validating network performance limits at the network design and capacity planning stages.
