Voice Quality Assurance Monitoring Solution
Rohde & Schwarz and Voipfuture have launched a ground-breaking communication monitoring solution to address new requirements in the air traffic management (ATM) market, the companies announced on 30 June.
ATC Voice Quality Assurance (AVQA) will address developing requirements for the monitoring of voice communications in ATM. The transition to IP has generated created new market needs and opportunities, which gave rise to the exclusive collaboration between the two companies. AVQA provides air traffic service providers (ANSP) with unique passive monitoring capabilities for ATM communications, covering signaling as well as media and radio transmission performance. The two companies teamed to create a unique solution for this important market. The development of AVQA has significantly benefited from the experience Voipfuture gained in over 10 years of voice-over-IP (VoIP) monitoring in the telecommunications industry.
The solution is already deployed in several ANSP networks assuring service quality. Typical use cases are monitoring quality and performance key performance indicators agreed on with WAN providers/carriers, or the regular reporting of network quality towards the respective civil aviation authority. An additional benefit is reduced time spent in troubleshooting, quickly identifying and localizing root causes of IP network problems such as misconfigured routers/switches or faulty fibres.
