Anritsu Broadens Service Assurance Capabilities for Fixed Mobile Convergence Networks.CHICAGO -- --Expanded Portfolio Includes Advanced Solutions for Broadband Service Providers -- Anritsu A/S, a subsidiary of Anritsu Corporation and a global provider of operational support solutions for advanced and converged networks, is showcasing this week a full range of fixed mobile convergence Seamless switching between cellular and local networks for mobile users. The goal is to have a handset that switches automatically from the cellular network to the local, wireless Wi-Fi network when entering a building in order to save cellphone minutes. (FMC See fixed mobile convergence. ) solutions for the increasing number of broadband, wireless and IP network operators requiring advanced service assurance capabilities. The latest versions of MasterClaw(TM) and NetClaw(TM) on display at GlobalComm expand the boundaries of Anritsu's test and Quality of Service product line to address the latest needs for monitoring, analyzing and troubleshooting any type of network. The newest version of MasterClaw (formerly MasterQuest) delivers the richest signaling data for service assurance purposes, including true broadband 24x7 signaling and payload monitoring. MasterClaw helps telco and cable operators optimize service assurance across the spectrums of network performance, fault systems, monitoring and service management. Based upon a unique cross-technology monitoring platform covering circuit, packet-switched and wireless and wireline domains, MasterClaw supports FMC network architectures and encompasses network service, customer and partner information. The favorable economics of outsourced VoIP hosting have driven Anritsu to evolve its NetClaw (formerly InterQuest Analyzer) as a single tool that tracks network and service quality while dynamically measuring how end-users experience Quality of Service. NetClaw enables service providers to quickly provision, troubleshoot and optimize convergent networks across VoIP and SS7 domains, and is designed with advanced applications for service testing, network monitoring The term network monitoring describes the use of a system that constantly monitors a computer network for slow or failing systems and that notifies the network administrator in case of outages via email, pager or other alarms. and data acquisition in a single box. Capable of analyzing voice quality, jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle , latency, delay, echo and packet loss, NetClaw can predetermine pre·de·ter·mine v. pre·de·ter·mined, pre·de·ter·min·ing, pre·de·ter·mines v.tr. 1. To determine, decide, or establish in advance: if VoIP quality will deteriorate. The product also provides the most cost-efficient way of passively monitoring RTP (1) (Rapid Transport Protocol) The protocol used in IBM's High Performance Routing (HPR) system.

"The exponential growth Extremely fast growth. On a chart, the line curves up rather than being straight. Contrast with linear. of broadband service providers aggressively pursuing triple play offerings requires a complete regimen of service assurance solutions for rigorous network and service quality monitoring and troubleshooting," said Thomas Jensen Thomas Jensen (1898 – 1963) was a Danish orchestra conductor. Born in Copenhagen, Jensen led several Danish ensembles, including the Danish State Radio Orchestra and the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra (then known as the Aarhus Civic Orchestra). , vice president and head of the Service Assurance Business Unit of Anritsu A/S.
