Service and content providers worldwide are intently focused on the new revenue potential to be derived from Internet TV services and other personalized content-delivery mechanisms. In order to ensure the delivery of high quality content and real time applications to consumers, end users' QoE must be monitored across a varying landscape of access networks, device platforms and CPE environments. The ability to quickly and accurately diagnose problems as they arise, and more importantly to prevent future service issues, will be critical for CSPs to control rising customer support costs - and hence for content/application providers (and CDNs) to satisfy increasingly stringent SLAs and retain their customer base.
Mr. Cognet's presentation:
-- Examines the established need to monitor QoE for Internet TV deployments throughout the life of the service.
-- Discusses technical details for the types of measurements that must be a part of any successful QoE assessment.
-- Covers deployment strategies and considerations for QoE monitoring as it relates to Internet TV.
-- Summarizes best practices for implementing QoE successfully into Internet TV deployments in order to maximize new revenue potential.
In 1999, Mr. Cognet co-founded QoSmetrics, a leading provider of network performance assurance solutions for triple play services, which was acquired by Symmetricom in January 2007. Symmetricom's V-Factor(R) metric is based on the Moving Pictures Quality Metrics (MPQM) model, but is adapted specifically for end-to-end video quality scoring. It is the first video quality metric that incorporates both network and content impairments and is capable of evaluating streams of either compressed or uncompressed video. Prior to QoSmetrics, Mr. Cognet was a founder of Experdata and also of Quallaby (acquired by Micromuse). He is an expert in IP networks and testing, having spent more than 25 years in the fields of test & measurement and networking with companies such as Philips Telecom, IBM and Netcom Systems.
