Shenick Taps Telchemy for IPTV and Triple-Play Testing

By Johanne Torres
TMCnet Contributing Editor


VoIP performance tester Telchemy has reportedly been tapped by Shenick Network Systems, an IP communications test systems provider, to license Telchemy’s VQmon/SA-VM IPTV (News - Alert) 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.

The diversifEye test system 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.

“Service providers face the challenge of delivering a high-quality end user experience to the emerging IPTV and triple play market,” said Robert Winters, co-founder and chief marketing officer, Shenick Network Systems. “Together, Shenick and Telchemy help solve the challenges facing service providers and infrastructure vendors by enabling them to emulate and test in real world scenarios before they deliver the final product to their customers. Shenick selected Telchemy’s VQmon technology based on the accurate, real-time metrics that it provides for IPTV and VoIP, and is widely adopted within the industry.”

Today’s news follows Telchemy’s deal with WildPackets announced back in April. WildPackets integrated Telchemy’s VQmon/SA into its OmniAnalysis Platform to offer VoIP analysis and call quality monitoring. VQmon/SA will offer in-depth media stream analysis and problem diagnosis of VoIP services for the OmniAnalysis Platform. This will enable WildPackets to better serve enterprise customers that are incorporating voice in their networks.
