Spirent Communications(TM) Introduces VoIP Support for
Coppermax(TM)
Company Continues Leadership in DSL Testing with New VoIP Feature Set
LAS VEGAS, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- USTA -- Spirent Communications
(NYSE:SPM) (LONDON: SPT) , recognized by Frost and Sullivan as a leader in
worldwide DSL service assurance deployments, today introduced VoIP support for
the CopperMax(R) product line. Spirent's CopperMax portfolio is on display at
booth #231 at USTA's TELECOM '04.
The new CopperMax VoIP feature accelerates service turn-up and maintenance
accuracy, speed, and responsiveness for service providers offering VoIP over
DSL. With this new feature, providers have the ability of emulating the
customer CPE (Customer Premise Equipment) by generating and receiving an IP
call using both SIP and H.323 signaling protocols. This flexibility is
important for diagnosing CPE related configuration and Voice Gateway problems.
Once the call is established, performance analysis can be performed on the
service using industry standard R-Factor techniques and providing the user a
MOS score. This operation segments the service provider's network for quick
trouble identification and resolution and allows the user the ability to see
exactly what the customer is experiencing.
"VoIP is a important catalyst in the marketplace, dramatically changing the way
in which businesses communicate bringing more options, speeding availability
and reduced costs," said Jim Schleckser, president of Spirent Communications'
Service Assurance - Broadband unit. "Spirent continues to meet the challenges
of this dynamic market by reducing the total cost of ownership for DSL service
assurance, which is what our customers need to deploy quality service that is
also profitable. Spirent's solutions enable providers to leverage their
initial installed investment and support a new source of DSL revenue."
Spirent has long been regarded as a leader in remote DSL test solutions used to
automate and improve the installation and management of DSL lines. Spirent
provides DSL line testing solutions to service providers representing 75
percent of the U.S. DSL market. Spirent's DSL solution portfolio for service
providers includes the family of CopperMax(R) (CopperMax/RT, CopperMax/ITH, and
CopperMax/A.) which allows service providers to perform real-time DSL line
testing and expert analysis-saving time and money by reducing dispatches and
shortening repair times, leading to greater customer satisfaction. The
products provide cost effective metallic test access with narrowband, wideband,
DSL sync, and IP diagnostics, including VoIP, integrated test cards in the
DSLAM's, and the REACT OSS with fault locating and expert analysis on board.
Spirent's VoIP feature set consists of a firmware feature release for the
CopperMax test heads and REACT software. All existing deployments and new
versions of the Spirent CopperMax test head, with logical testing support, can
be remotely upgraded to support the VoIP feature.
