Welcome to the VoIP Robustness Testing Channel sponsored by Mu Dynamics.

Mu works with network operators and their vendor suppliers to eliminate costly downtime and maximize their service assurance for revenue-producing next Gen IP applications including VoIP and IPTV as well as IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) buildouts. By applying Mu's service-level traffic variations, DoS or published vulnerabilities modules network operators reduce downtime and customer churn while building and operating higher quality, more reliable, available and secure networks for their mission-critical applications.

Learn how Mu's award-winning analyzer platform offers a differentiated, easily-deployed and modified solution to costly customer churn or support call peaks due to poor service quality challenges on the company’s new VoIP Robustness Testing channel. The company’s approach is validated by more than 100 deployments at leading cable operators, service providers and industry-leading supplier product vendors. Since Mu’s debut of its flagship Mu-4000 Service Analyzer appliance in early 2005, the company has achieved significant customer traction. More than one-third of the world's 15 largest service provider and cable operators now use Mu; Mu's customers represent one-half of the revenue in the global network, application and security infrastructure market; and Mu's customers represent one-third of the revenue in the global industrial control manufacturer market.
