BARCELONA, Spain -- Ixia (Nasdaq:XXIA), a leading, global provider of IP test systems, today announced that it will be showcasing a live demonstration of its Triple Play and IMS test solutions for the wireless communications market February 12 - 15 at Hall 1, Stand A-03 during the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona. Ixia's IxLoad[TM], IxVoice[TM], IxMobile[TM] and IxChariot[TM] test applications will be running on its field-proven Optixia XM12 platform to demonstrate test solutions for IMS and Triple Play services over mobile wireless networks.

Mobile wireless networks are accelerating the adoption of IP to expand subscriber services beyond voice to Triple Play. Converged networks are increasingly offering these Triple Play services over native IP access technologies such as Wi-Fi and WiMax. Ixia provides flexible, easy-to-use tools that test these diverse networks and services, enabling wireless operators and systems vendors to ensure the highest user quality of experience.

Using Ixia's test applications, the Optixia XM12 modular platform provides an ultra-high density, highly versatile single platform for executing a broad range of data, signaling, voice, video and application testing from Layers 2-7.

IxLoad is a highly scalable test solution for assessing the performance of Triple Play networks and devices. IxLoad emulates IPTV and Triple Play subscribers and associated protocols to ensure subscriber Quality of Experience.

IxVoice validates the key IMS subsystems for interoperability, functionality and performance. It supports the dynamic architecture requirements inherent in large-scale IMS networks. IxVoice emulates subscribers and network services to test multi-vendor networks for interoperability. IxVoice also emulates the home subscriber system (HSS) to test the core control elements' functionality.

IxMobile is a complete 3G-324M/H.324M and H.323 diagnostic solution that provides interoperability testing, troubleshooting, service optimization and video telephony call traffic monitoring capability. IxMobile provides important user quality, service quality and control side statistics that easily show how issues affect video telephony calls.

IxChariot measures end-to-end network performance under realistic load conditions. IxChariot provides metrics that can be used to derive the end user experience such as throughput, response time, jitter, one-way delay, MOS
