All Video. All Locations. All the Time.

IQPinPoint™ is a Multi-Dimensional Video Quality Management™ Solution designed for Digital Video enabled networks. IQPinPoint is a comprehensive platform that is a business driven, multi-faceted approach to improve the content and service provider’s ability to reduce video defects and costs, increase profits, and improve customer satisfaction. IneoQuest’s “Program Availability Report” aggregates massive amounts of data into a single, five-nines (99.999%) measurement that gives providers an instant QoS gauge of service delivery. By enabling five-nine metrics on a per-channel basis, service providers can fine tune their network and operations to achieve total control over the service(s) they are providing, rather than basing their performance on the number of calls to its customer service center.

IQPinPoint enables auditing, monitoring, and analysis of thousands of video programs simultaneously and continuously across all network sub-systems over time, enabling a live, real-time, multi-dimensional view of network quality in a single unified dashboard. It consists of IneoQuest’s awarding winning iVMS™ Video Management System and a suite of advanced hardware probes.

IneoQuest offers the only Service Assurance Monitoring solution that combines the monitoring of hundreds of simultaneous, live digital video traffic flows with remote test and analysis. This combination allows the video Service Provider to reduce operating expenses and improve quality by not just detecting issues but providing the increased ability to isolate and solve problems with the same system.

Video Service Providers are facing greater competition. In this market, the cost of not testing is simply unacceptable, and proactive network monitoring is critical for customer satisfaction. IneoQuest offers commissioning, troubleshooting, support, and monitoring tools so customers don’t have to wait through another “One Moment Please”.
