(BW)(CA-IXIA)(XXIA.NASDAQ) Ixia Launches Industry-Leading VoIP Testing with the Ability to Emulate up to One Million Concurrent Endpoints Advanced Subscriber Modeling Allows Real-World, Carrier Grade, Class 5 VoIP Switch Emulation to Deliver Full Performance Testing for Large Scale VoIP Devices and Networks Technology Editors CALABASAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE) - Mar. 08, 2009-- Ixia, a leading supplier of IP test systems, today announced the next generation in residential and business VoIP testing. With its ultra-high performance, IxLoad Voice matches the capacity of modern media gateways with an unprecedented 1 million SIP- and RTP-based endpoints per chassis five times the capacity of its nearest competing product. After many years of isolated, small-scale consumer and business roll-outs, VoIP deployments have finally gone mainstream. Infonetics Research forecasts a 25% compound aggregate growth in residential and SOHO hosted VoIP subscribers through 2011, when they are expected to number over 187 million. To meet this growing demand, network equipment manufacturers must deliver VoIP devices that can handle more calls and a complex array of protocols and services. Both network equipment manufacturers and converged service providers of all sizes need to verify the performance and interoperability of new VoIP devices and networks, ensuring that they can handle complex, heavy VoIP traffic loads. IxLoad tests VoIP network components, including IP-based PBXs, softswitches, call managers, session border controllers, and media gateways, using highly realistic scenarios involving multiple voice protocols, complex calling sequences, and triple-play mixes of voice, video and data traffic. IxLoad's unique subscriber modeling emulates user communities that vary in service usage and timing. This approach yields performance results that accurately predict live-network capacity allowing service providers to correctly provision their networks. Ixia supports all of the essential VoIP signaling and transmission protocols, including SIP, RTP, SCCP, MGCP, H.323, and H.248 with complex call flows and Class 5 features. IxLoad delivers real-time evaluation of end-user quality of experience(QoE), such as PESQ scores for 300 simultaneous calls making it unnecessary to wait for time-consuming, post-test analysis. With Ixia's IxLoad Voice, NEMs bring their products to market faster, and service providers and enterprises can be sure that their deployments meet their capacity and responsiveness needs. IxLoad Voice allows service providers to evaluate components and provision their networks eliminating expensive network degradation and down-time.
