Telenet distributes Hammer XMS – the network-wide monitoring solution for Next Generation Networks (NGN)

Munich, 2nd June, 2006 – Voice transmission over the internet (VoIP) is under close scrutiny from quality-oriented customers and will have to measure up to traditional telephony in order to succeed in the market. This is where the network-wide Hammer XMS VoIP signaling analysis tool developed by Empirix comes in: controlled centrally, calls can be assessed across the entire network in order to analyze and guarantee the reliability and Quality of Service that end users demand – the perfect quality assurance tool for network and service providers.

The correlation of call records from different segments and locations in the network (IP and TDM) in real time allows simple and effective troubleshooting down to individual calls or call sequences. The time and cost consuming search for call records on different servers and gateways is a thing of the past. The analysis of the signaling and/or media data (RTP) provides a fast overview over the call flow as well as the attained voice quality (MOS, R factor).

The permanent recording and storage of call data with all performance-related characteristics such as jitter or latency also allows a comprehensive insight into the network operation. Statistics reports for media records, a list of causes for repeated call interruption or the observation of Busy Hour Call Attempts (BHCA) across a selected period of time – network performance, trends and traffic patterns can be easily monitored anytime via a GUI interface and used for network planning.

The outstanding performance of this analysis tool, which is tailored to all network and monitoring requirements, ensures the efficient operation of any network. Direct access to details on active as well as completed calls significantly enhances the efficiency of customer care and allows effortless monitoring of Service Level Agreement compliance.
