Voipfuture Introduces New KPI System for VoIP Media Quality

• Service Perspective: How do your customers judge your service?
• Network Perspective: How is the network's transport quality and how does it influence the user experience?
• Session Perspective: Do issues stem from persistent issues or isolated incidents?
• Volume Perspective: How is the overall quality in terms of call minutes?
• Midpoint Perspective: How is traffic quality in a specific network segment?
• End-to-End Perspective: How is the overall quality per call?

The KPI system presented in Voipfuture's ne white paper, therefore serves as a vital management tool for telecommunications service providers. It not only explains different quality perspectives but provides KPIs to translate information into action.

Voipfuture technology uses fixed time slicing to create atomic units of media quality. These units are aggregated to different levels, providing data for different use cases. For example, call quality data is essential for customer experience management, but less helpful for root cause analysis. Time slice and session data on the other hand give valuable insights into the overall network and service quality and provide a better high-level overview.
