Ixia launches end-to-end remote Quality of Experience and service validation platform for triple-play operators
March 13, 2008 – Ixia, a global provider of IP performance test systems, has launched IxRave, a patent-pending end-to-end remote Quality of Experience (QoE) and service validation platform.
IxRave enables carriers, service providers and enterprises to actively isolate faults, verify that end-customers are receiving services and that they are working according to SLAs, and then continue to remotely monitor their networks. Bell Canada worked with Ixia to deploy remote testing capability for rolling out triple-play services on its network and reportedly achieved return on investment within one year.
IxRave is a scalable solution that integrates with carriers’ operation support systems (OSS) and provides active, rather than passive, service validation. IxRave’s probes can be deployed along network edges, at customer premises and at key core points to perform real-time active network validation.
“Until now, end-to-end quality of experience and network service validation has been an unmet market need, but it’s one that Ixia is uniquely able to fill,” said Atul Bhatnagar, CEO and President of Ixia. “We’ve been able to leverage our expertise in IP network testing and our leading-edge products to create a solution that can immediately reduce carriers’ operating expenses and increase their revenues. We foresee continued innovation and growth in this market segment.”
