VoIP is in
many ways a compelling alternative to traditional circuit switched network
technologies. Not only does offers the IP infrastructure lower operational costs,
but the openness in the technology enables a wide diversity of triple play
services such as gaming, Video-on-Demand or IPTV, representing new revenue
opportunities as well as service delivery challenge.

Anritsu’s
Customer QoS/SLA Monitoring solution for enterprise customers supports
Service Providers through better managed VoIP services by providing a
complete toolbox. The toolbox includes pre-launch network and service quality
assessment, continuous customer monitoring, and rapid troubleshooting across
the enterprise and Service Providers network and service domains. The VoIP
Enterprise Customer QoS/SLA monitoring solution uses active test agents that
generate simulated traffic to rate performance. As these agents are installed
with specific enterprise customers, network and service operations personnel
can replicate end-user behavior by taking control over the agents.
