CHICAGO, June 6th, 2005 -- IneoQuest Technologies, the Video over IP Quality SpecialistsTM today announced that Rural Telephone Service Co., Inc., a Kansas corporation, has installed IneoQuest tools for test and monitoring of it’s advanced IPTV network deployment across it’s 35 central offices throughout western Kansas. The IneoQuest test solutions provide Rural Telephone with the necessary 24/7 network visibility for ensuring video quality of service is maintained across all video streams.
As IPTV network deployments continue to expand driving increased content capacity, quality expectations need to be managed to ensure continued customer satisfaction. However, efficient management of large distributed IPTV networks over remote areas with multiple equipment venders requires new monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.
"Rural Telephone was looking for a test and monitoring solution that would enable seamless content transmission over our advanced IPTV Gigabit Ethernet network to our remote headends. However, traditional layer 2 and 3 test equipment was not providing the necessary information we needed to determine how our network was performing", said Shane Broyles, Research and Development Coordinator for Rural Telephone. "The IneoQuest' SingulusTM G1-T and IQMediaMonitorTM together with the IQSoftwareSuiteTM multi-mode application software’s ability to simultaneously monitor all streams on our Gigabit network enabled us to quickly identify network issues and confer with our equipment manufacturers for very fast problem resolution."
IneoQuest Singulus G1-T and IQMediaMonitor products are FPGA based and shipped with IQSoftwareSuiteTM 3-mode application software enabling multi-functional test, monitoring and generation capabilities for Converged Network Providers and Network Equipment Manufacturers. New features include a software decoder, recorder, and thumbnail viewer for visually examining MPEG2, MPEG4 and H.264 streams.
