Brix Networks announced a prequalification application for VoIP networks that lets service providers test the ability of a prospect’s residential broadband connection to support high-quality calls. VoIP PreQual is a commercial version of Brix Networks’ free testing portal, TestYourVoIP.com.
The Brix VoIP PreQual Application consists of a PreQual Console and the PreQual Agent. The PreQual Console allows a provider’s customer care or marketing staff to view, search, and report on the quality of a residential VoIP service prospect’s broadband connection. Potential subscribers download a Java-based PreQual Agent to their Web browser. The PreQual Agent then initiates test VoIP calls and reports the quality and performance results directly to the PreQual Console for further analysis. The system evaluates Signaling Quality (call setup performance), Delivery Quality (media path network performance), and Call Quality (overall voice clarity and call experience). Additional diagnostic detail on delivery quality is provided by a host of metrics, including latency, packet loss, and jitter. http://www.brixnet.comhttp://TestYourVoIP.com
