Telecom test and measurement firm Anite will implement OPTICOM’s new streaming video quality testing algorithm, PEVQ-S, in its Nemo wireless network testing tools.
PEVQ-S algorithm will be implemented in the Nemo product line during the second half of 2014.
The agreement between Anite and OPTICOM, a provider of signal-based perceptual measurement technology for voice, audio and video, will enable network operators and service providers to evaluate their streaming video service levels from a subscriber’s viewpoint.
“The implementation of PEVQ-S algorithm in Anite’s Nemo tools further strengthens our QoE and QoS testing capabilities, enabling our customers to more effectively analyse their services, optimise their networks and ultimately improve end-user experience,” said Jussi Lemiläinen, vice president, Product Management and Business Development at Anite’s Network Testing business.
PEVQ-S is an advanced framework algorithm developed by OPTICOM for full-reference video quality analysis in adaptive streaming environments. It combines FR high accuracy video quality measurements with real-time measurements, even on mobile devices.
PEVQ-S will enhance streaming video quality testing capabilities of Nemo tools by offering standardized exact qualification of video quality and the ability to benchmark video streaming QoE levels, identify perceivable artifacts of network congestion, and to indicate the available headroom for optimization.
Michael Keyhl, founder and CEO of OPTICOM, said: “PEVQ-S is currently the only tool in the market which not only detects poorly perceived video quality, but at the same time gives a useful indication of the available headroom for QoE optimization from a subscriber’s subjective point of view.”
