EXFO Announces New IPTV Software Option

By Anuradha Shukla, TMCnet Contributing Editor

EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering Inc. has released the IPTV quality-of-service test capabilities for its Packet Blazer Ethernet product line.
 
Available on the newly released FTB-8510B Ethernet Packet Blazer, this new IPTV (News - Alert) software option offers unique test capabilities including media delivery index (MDI), program clock reference jitter, stream rate metrics, bandwidth utilization and IP metrics on up to 255 simultaneous MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 media streams.
 
Since EXFO’s IPTV offering integrates complete carrier-grade Ethernet capabilities into one product, it provides customers with a powerful analysis tool for full transport-layer and service-layer testing.
 
Coupled with the FTB-8510B Packet Blazer, the IPTV software is housed inside EXFO’s portable modular platform, the FTB-400 Universal Test System, for field applications. For lab and manufacturing environments the solution is available on the IQS-500 Intelligent Test System.
 
EXFO is extending its IPTV test capabilities from the edge into metro and core networks with the addition of IPTV test capabilities on the Packet Blazer. As a result network service providers can now rely on a single trusted source for all their IPTV testing needs to support the complete video deployment cycle from service rollout to troubleshooting and monitoring.
 
“EXFO is committed to providing customers with the best tools in the IPTV network performance test industry, which is undergoing accelerated growth as operators proceed with major deployments around the world,” said Etienne Gagnon, EXFO’s vice-president of Protocol and Optical Product Management in a press release.
 
He continued: “With the IPTV test suite on the FTB-8510B Packet Blazer and CoLT-450P Triple-Play Test Set, we are now offering cost-effective, high-performance test solutions to measure QoS from the core network to the home.”
 
EXFO is a recognized test and measurement expert in the global telecommunications industry. EXFO provides portable optical test solutions and is a supplier of protocol and access test solutions to enable triple-play deployments and converged IP networking.
