At this sold-out event, Acterna will showcase its test and network management leadership by addressing a number of critical issues operators face when deploying VoIP services over their cable networks. The discussion will include topics such as overcoming the key roadblocks of successful VoIP deployment, implementing effective testing and measuring tools Because human senses - like vision, hearing, touch, heat/cold receptors are subjective - which means that they are not very accurate nor reliable - science do not use them in measurements. Instead, measuring tools are used.  for quality of service (QoS), and executing the proper steps for operators to "get deployment right the first time."

Acterna will also emphasize the valuable role that test products and test systems play in improving operating efficiencies, ensuring quality and supporting customer retention. The company will identify the typical issues customers face when deploying voice services and offer methods to eliminate these problems, helping today's cable network operator deliver VoIP in a competitive marketplace.

"We applaud the SCTE and Communications Technology magazine for hosting an important event that explores a critical and timely issue: how to cost-effectively engineer new VoIP revenues through best technology practices," said Kevin Oliver, vice president of marketing for Acterna's Cable Networks Division.
