Agilent Technologies Introduces Test Solutions for Accelerating Deployment and Monitoring of New Voice, Video and Data Services; Tools Increase Test Productivity for Triple-Play Service Development and Deployment.CHICAGO -- Agilent Technologies This article needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today unveiled test and management solutions that address the challenges arising from the convergence of voice, video and data (triple-play). These tools help service providers, network equipment manufacturers and cable providers ensure the performance and reliability of next-generation networks. Incorporating new solutions that deliver powerful insights into the real-world performance of next-generation networks, these tools help analyze the end user's quality of experience (QoE), which is a key factor in accelerating the adoption of new services. Furthermore, these new products improve productivity and QoS, shorten the time needed to isolate problems, and reduce the overall time needed for triple-play services deployment. The Agilent N2X: Multiservices Test Solution for Triple-Play The Agilent N2X multiservices test solution provides the industry's most comprehensive capability for validating performance and scalability characteristics of next-generation network equipment used to deliver triple-play services. Network equipment manufacturers and service providers can now cost-effectively and rapidly emulate em·u·late tr.v. em·u·lat·ed, em·u·lat·ing, em·u·lates 1. To strive to equal or excel, especially through imitation: an older pupil whose accomplishments and style I emulated. 2. real-world usage scenarios by providing unique insight into the QoE of each individual subscriber's service while the network is fully loaded with traffic. This allows the testing of new network architectures and elements in ways that closely resemble the end-user's triple-play service experience. More information about the Agilent N2X is available at www.agilent.com/find/n2x-3play. The Agilent Network Tester: Application and Security Tester for Triple-Play The new version of Agilent Network Tester allows, in an industry first, the emulation of thousands of proprietary-application users while also being able to measure their impact on delay-sensitive voice and video application performance. It provides a unique insight into an application-aware device's system performance limits and can simultaneously emulate multiple denial-of-service attacks "DoS" redirects here. For other uses, see DOS (disambiguation). A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. , enabling verification of the end-customers' QoE, even under the most adverse conditions.

The Agilent Distributed Network Analyzer A specialized hardware device or software in a desktop or laptop computer that captures packets transmitted in a network for routine inspection and problem detection. Also called a "sniffer," "packet sniffer," "packet analyzer," "traffic analyzer" and "protocol analyzer," the network : Troubleshooting Troubleshooting is a form of problem solving. It is the systematic search for the source of a problem so that it can be solved. Troubleshooting is often a process of elimination - eliminating potential causes of a problem. for Triple-Play The new Agilent Distributed Network Analyzer PRO allows users to access the critical QoE of customers and to quickly isolate root causes. It incorporates a wide variety of access interfaces in a small, portable platform with a breakthrough wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area user interface, making it the industry's most extensible tool for diagnosing network and services issues when turning-up and optimizing networks. New triple-play measurements include support for HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) See HSPA. in mobile broadband Description Mobile Broadband is a type of wireless internet access that differs from Wi-Fi. Mobile Broadband is the name used to describe the 3G services which are made possible by HSDPA and HSUPA, the latest technologies on the W-CDMA evolutionary path. networks, video protocol analysis, and an industry-first capability of directly correlating VoIP voice quality with network impairments, taking the guesswork out of analysis. More information about the Distributed Network Analyzer PRO is available at www.agilent.com/find/dna-pro. Agilent NgN Analysis System: End-to-End VoIP Cable Monitoring Agilent's NgN Analysis System is the industry's leading probe-based, non-intrusive monitoring and troubleshooting system for VoIP networks. Complete end-to-end call and performance analysis enables service providers to drill down to quickly troubleshoot To find out why something does not work and to fix the problem. Troubleshooting a computer often requires determining whether the problem is due to malfunctioning hardware or buggy or out-of-date software. See debug. QoE problems. Agilent today announced the extension of NgN Analysis System to address the needs of cable VoIP service providers to ensure high quality of service (QoS). Through the added support for common open policy service (COPS) protocol and for Cedar Point Cedar Point is a 364 acre (1.5 km²) amusement park located in Sandusky, Ohio, U.S. on a narrow peninsula jutting into Lake Erie. It is one of the world's largest amusement parks (by ride count) with 69 rides and currently holds the world record for most roller coasters with 17, one Softswitches, the system displays end-to-end call flow records for advanced performance metrics Performance metrics are measures of an organizations activities and performance. Performance metrics should support a range of stakeholder needs from customers, shareholders to employees [1]. and real-time and historical call analysis.
