Optimize your network before you make a move For many businesses, the merging of voice (telephony) onto a network that is optimized and tuned for data traffic may seem like a daunting project. Our VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) assessment tool collects information from all network points and reports instances of jitter, delay and voice packet loss; all factors that affect voice quality.
VoIP is a technology that allows users to make telephone calls over data networks. It promises lower operation and management costs than traditional telephone networks because it allows organizations to route voice calls over their existing data networks. However, in addition to demanding very higher performance of your network, VoIP traffic is more susceptible to normal network effects like delay and loss than data traffic, and poses a challenge to network administrators looking to implement converged data and voice networks.
With the The Cureton Group's HeadCure-VoIP Assessment Service, we deploy performance-monitoring appliances, called HeadAgents, at specified business(enterprise) locations. Our appliances simulate voice calls between your sites, collect the resulting performance statistics, and then transmit the statistics back to the HeadCure NOC for additional analysis. The HeadAgents collect all of the most important quality-impacting and diagnostic results from each voice call, including round-trip latency, discarded and lost packets, jitter, and MOS which is a real-time measure of overall call quality.
The HeadCure server is located at The Cureton Group's data center, meaning there is no software for IT managers to install, administer, and then remove at the conclusion of the evaluation.
When the assessment period ends, The Cureton Group's VoIP performance experts produce a customized Assessment Summary Report containing key findings that identify hot spots, problem locations, and impairments that vary by day, or even hour of the day. In addition, the HeadCure VoIP Assessment Report will make specific technical recommendations, such as optimized phone jitter buffer sizes, for the subsequent VoIP rollout phase.
