Testing Goes Virtual

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 single system links distributed, live network test devices and enables IP and Hybrid IP/PSTN call quality assessment before a VoIP service launches. Think of this as a “virtual” test platform based on the Abacus 5000.

Spirent’s Distributed Abacus IP telephony Rollout Platform 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’s Distributed Abacus can be used to test end-to-end or at any combination of IP and PSTN points on the network.
