It enables service providers to quickly provision, troubleshoot and optimise convergent networks across VoIP and SS7 domains.
Designed with advanced applications for service testing, network monitoring and data acquisition for existing and next-generation networks in a single box, InterQuest analyser is a highly efficient tool for testing interoperability in increasingly complex networks while simultaneously automating trivial tasks and reducing operational costs.
'InterQuest VoIP is a powerful tool to help our customers expedite the detection and resolution of problems in their IP and SS7 network, verify QoS of their IP network, and document interconnect SLAs', said Thomas Jensen, Vice President and Head of the Service Assurance Business Unit of Anritsu.
'With this new offering, Anritsu is geared for further expansion into the rapidly growing VoIP monitoring market'.
Capable of analysing voice quality, jitter, latency, delay and packet loss, InterQuest analyser VoIP can predetermine if voice quality will deteriorate.

The product also provides the most cost-efficient way of passively monitoring RTP and RTCP packet flows in the network to ensure that service providers deliver the quality that customers demand.
In addition, InterQuest allows service providers to analyse voice payload quality without the need for costly subjective tests with listeners, by providing objective measurements to produce a MOS (mean opinion score) clarity index for measuring voice quality of calls.
Likewise, InterQuest helps service providers document voice quality SLAs with interconnect partners and customers to meet contractual commitments.
InterQuest's multi-user capability allows up to eight users to analyse, simultaneously and independently, different parts of the monitored network, thus optimising work routines while minimising investment in other test solutions.
'The new VoIP capabilities of the InterQuest enable Anritsu to meet service providers' growing requirements for VoIP monitoring', said Frost and Sullivan's Jessy Cavazos, Programme Manager, Communications Test and Measurement.
'Going forward, the company is expected to continue to enhance its offering to meet future end-user needs'.
'IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is likely to be one of such targeted areas'.
'Already, the new VoIP features being introduced today pave the way for Anritsu to launch dedicated IMS solutions in the future'.
'Anritsu is expected to leverage its leadership in HSDPA/HSUPA basestation and user equipment testing for the benefit of the InterQuest platform'.
