VoIP performance tester Telchemy (news - alert) has been tapped by Shenick Network Systems, (news - alert) an IP communications test systems provider, to license Telchemy’s VQmon/SA-VM IPTV and VQmon/SA VoIP performance analysis software for use in its diversifEye Triple Play communications test system. The deal will enable Shenick to provide its customers with the ability to test performance and quality issues for IPTV, VoIP triple play, and broadband services within a single system. This way, service providers will be able to offer higher quality, reliable IPTV services. The VQmon software agent monitors IP-based voice and video streams in real-time, measures the time distribution of lost and discarded packets using a multi-state statistical model, examines the type of codec, bit rate and other factors using a perceptual model to calculate transmission quality and perceptual quality metrics. DiversifEye determines the quality and performance limitations with the convergence of voice, video, and enhanced broadband data services. The VQmon/SA/VM-diversifEye combo will allow Shenick to support real-time, passive IPTV video quality analysis on a per IPTV channel basis.
