Active Assurance IP-Data Service Testing

All IP Networks enables multi-services

Cable MSOs, Traditional Telcos, Mobile or Fixed Operators can all appreciate the IP revolution in today’s networks. End-Subscriber’s expectations have grown and it’s no longer acceptable to have a ‘slow’ Internet connection. Simply adding more bandwidth as a solution is helpful but not always the end-all solution. In fact your network segments might be performing properly and the peering partners who you hand-off to are not meeting the SLA contracts that you’ve established. Conversely you may have all the bandwidth you need but your services are not following the routing, class of services, and priority policies that you’ve put in place.

Service Segmentation is key

With Tektronix Communications' Active Assurance portfolio, a Network Operator can emulate IP data services in your network to give you a full understanding of how your Internet traffic is working in your network. With Tektronix Communications IP Data Service Testing solution a Fixed or Mobile Service Provider and Network Operator can:

• Recreate the problems found in the field
• Ensure network segments that you’re responsible for are working
• Ensure that the data routing paths are predictable and performing accordingly

Tektronix Communications' IP Access testing feature set allows you to predict the type of web related, and throughput issues that your customers may face. Furthermore, it equips you to go back to your peering partners with SLA contract issues. At the end of the day you are responsible for keeping your customers happy so it’s important to understand that their end-to-end services are working as advertised.
