New solutions for VoIP and SIP conformance testing are now available from Hermon Laboratories. This expert in compliance testing in telecom has made both solutions available as optional add-ons to Hermon Labs’ TCA 8200 Telecom Conformance Analyzer. The SIP solution is also available as a standalone software application.

The TCA 8200 is positioned as providing a fast and cost-effective approvals solution for all major access equipment standards around the world. With now offering VoIP and SIP options, the TCA 8200 can provide a complete answer for testing of the full range of telecom wired access equipment: analog PSTN; xDSL; E1; ISDN PRI and PRI L2/3. Applications such as pre-compliance, compliance, development and production testing are all included in the TCA 8200.

To enable thorough testing of transmission between analog, digital and VoIP, in any combination, the VoIP add-on solution complies with the TIA/EIA-810 standard. It also provides TIMS and voice quality testing and Echo cancellation in addition to acoustic testing of VoIP telephones with optional VQT (PESQ). The new SIP add-on and standalone solution supports ETSI TS 102.027-1.

“With the addition of the new VoIP and SIP solutions, the TCA 8200 makes it easier and faster than ever before to develop and test new VoIP products for international compliance,” said Alex Usoskin, CEO of Hermon Labs, in a statement on Monday. “For our worldwide customer base, this means they can get to market faster – regardless of the geographic spread of their market.”

 

The TCA 8200 is marketed as a unique “Lab-In-A-Box” that can provide the only comprehensive solution testing compliance with all major telecom standards worldwide. The solution also replaces the multiple test instruments traditionally required for testing with a single, compact device, at a fraction of the cost and space requirements. The various testing processes are also reduced from weeks or months to mere hours or days, savings considerable time.

A single TCA 8200 unit can replace the oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, ISDN analyzer, digital transmission/BERT/jitter analyzers and others. Key features and capabilities include:

 

 

As VoIP has seen increased adoption and SIP is expected to explode throughout multiple industries over the next five years, the time is right for these testing solutions from Hermon Laboratories. By offering testing of both technologies in a time and cost saving solution, the testing provider will ensure greater demand for its services.

 

Hermon Labs has also done well to recognize the current demands in the industry while also anticipating how these demands will change in the future. Hermon has also identified the elements that telecoms demand the most in testing solutions, ensuring that they can meet all needs and in effect, protect their market position.
