At MWC 2014 (Mobile World Congress), Barcelona, Spirent Communications announced IP Analytics modules for improving the user experience of VoLTE and other IP-based services.
Spirent’s IP Analytics modules provide ability to correlate user experience metrics from any VoLTE device with IP-layer performance metrics, enabling operators to accelerate the resolution of issues and improve VoLTE user experience.
The company said Spirent’s IP Analytics enable IP logs from the IMS core and device to be correlated with user experience data, allowing underlying issues related to packet delay, jitter and loss to be identified in minutes as opposed to days using manual techniques.
Spirent, a test and measurement vendor, said its studies of initial VoLTE deployments in the US and Asia-Pacific show that VoLTE has the potential to deliver a better user experience than OTT and legacy voice services.
Des Owens, general manager, Service Experience at Spirent, said: “Our IP Analytics allow operators to find and fix issues faster than ever before, ensuring that VoLTE services can live up to their full potential.”
The IP Analytics modules are available for Spirent’s Nomad HD and Datum Analytics Systems. While the IP Analytics module for Nomad HD focuses on VoLTE, the IP Analytics module for Datum focuses on data service user experience including web browsing, file transfer and streaming services.
