Multiplay testers

Agilent Technologies has introduced multiple test solutions that support the development and deployment of multiplay infrastructures.

The products offer end-to-end performance monitoring and testing of fixed, mobile and converged networks and make it simpler to handle complex tasks.

The N2X multiservices test solution is claimed to be the industry’s first multiplay to combine line-rate, hardware-based performance statistics for video, voice and data services on the same test port. It provides scalable hardware-based triple play traffic generation and analysis based on user-defined subscriber profiles.

Each test port displays video media quality and IPTV channel-zapping metrics along with voice mean opinion score and data forwarding performance measurements.

The J6900A triple play analyser is an in-service monitoring, analysis and troubleshooting tool for voice, data and video applications. It is one of the industry’s first service assurance solutions for the Microsoft Mediaroom IPTV and multimedia software platform.

Designed as a component of the analyser platform, the solution enables service providers and network equipment manufacturers to accelerate deployments of Microsoft Mediaroom-based IPTV services.

The network tester layer 4-7 can generate realistic multiprotocol traffic mixes at high scale, which allows users to subject equipment to conditions of load and stress to simulate broadband networks.

WireScope Pro is a Category 3 to 6A, Class C to E, EA and F LAN cabling certification tester and an all-in-one tool that serves network administrators and solution integrators from cabling installation to service turn-up and troubleshooting.
