Spirent Communications announced availability of the Distributed Abacus IP Telephony Rollout Platform designed to assess and validate signaling performance and call quality in pre-production networks.
The Distributed Abacus platform allows for centralized testing of service provider or enterprise pre-production networks, rather than consuming time and resources with site-by-site testing. Spirent’s Distributed Abacus platform treats multiple Abacus IP Telephony test systems as a single “virtual” platform for testing IP and hybrid IP/PSTN networks. It provides network statistics such as jitter, delay and packet Loss; call measurements statistics such as call setup time, percent of call completions, and call termination reason; and voice quality metrics such as MOS, PESQ and R value.
Spirent said its Distributed Abacus can be used to test end-to-end or at any combination of IP and PSTN points on the network facilitating true converged network testing between various locations around a city, a country or around the Globe.
In addition, Spirent offers an IP Telephony Network Assessment Service incorporating on-site Spirent Global Services experts, an initial assessment of the customer’s requirements, customized network analysis, corrective recommendations and, if necessary, a follow-on service with in-depth testing of specific problems.
