Active Assurance VoIP Service Testing

The emergence of VoIP Networks

The benefits of having an all IP infrastructure undoubtedly outweigh legacy TDM networks. But that doesn’t mean that TDM networks will cease to exist. In fact the migration to all-IP is causing concern with Network Operators around the world. Placing sensitive services such as voice and video has proven to be a challenge. The question that arises too often is whether or not VoIP services will have the same reliability, stability and high quality as legacy PSTN networks. Having a cheaper network infrastructure means nothing to an end-subscriber if they can’t have a stronger quality of experience.
