| TELCHEMY ANNOUNCES ACTERNA
TO CO-SPONSOR VOIPTROUBLESHOOTER.COM
Acterna Will Provide Content
and Materials Addressing Voice Over IP Fault and Performance
Management via Popular Industry Web Site
SUWANEE, Ga, March 1 – Telchemy®,
Incorporated, the global leader in real-time VoIP
Fault and Performance Management technology, and Acterna,
the world’s leading provider of cable network
test and management solutions, today announced that
Acterna will be a co-sponsor of the VoIPTroubleshooter.com™
Web site. Established in 2003 by Telchemy, the free
site contains over 60 pages of information and online
diagnostic tools for network managers to use when
investigating and resolving IP-related call quality
problems. Acterna plans to supply valuable content
on test and management solutions for VoIP, as well
as research information, by submitting articles, application
notes and white papers.
“Acterna will contribute our expertise in communications
network testing technology to benefit the network
technicians, administrators, and engineers that visit
the VoIPTroubleshooter.com website,” said Kevin
Oliver, vice president of marketing for Acterna’s
Cable Networks Division. “We are pleased to
join Telchemy in providing online-accessible information
– our valuable technical and application data
will go a long way to support those interested in
deploying and maintaining IP/VoIP networks more effectively.”
In addition to extensive information on VoIP issues
and problems, VoIPTroubleshooter.com features an Open
Speech Repository, an IP Network Impairment Simulator
and a popular industry Forum. The Open Speech Repository
provides high quality audio recordings of speech files
in American and British English, Mandarin (Chinese),
French, Hindi, among others, that test engineers can
use for testing and related applications without any
restrictions, except for source credit. An important
feature of the Open Speech Repository is that industry
and academic researchers can contribute speech files
to the site.
The site’s downloadable IP Network Impairment
Simulator provides network administrators with a method
of modeling packet-related network problems, i.e.,
jitter and delay, LAN/WAN congestion and backbone
and route changes, that is scenario-based instead
of the more conventional statistical approach to modeling.
This method enables administrators and technicians
to simulate a network environment with congestion
under extremely realistic conditions.
“We established VoIPTroubleshooter.com to provide
an interactive site to build industry confidence in
Voice over IP and help users diagnose and resolve
call quality and packet network problems,” said
Alan Clark, President and CEO of Telchemy, Incorporated.
“As a co-sponsor, Acterna will bring meaningful
problem–solving information -- their call quality
expertise in the cable and telecom industries and
experience supporting advanced new services deployment
such as VoIP will make the content of our site even
more robust for users.”
