New System Uses Standards-Based Psychoacoustic Models To Monitor Quality Of Service In Wired And Wireless Networks.Las Vegas, CA, May 11, 2004: (Networld+Interop, Booth # 1959) Leaders in the use of ITU standards-based psychoacoustic models for Quality of Service (QoS) monitoring, QoE Systems Holding Inc. (QoE Systems ), today announced the introduction of the QoE Monitor QoS monitoring solution for multimedia communications services on hybrid networks. Designed for large enterprises and carriers that wish to reap the cost and advanced service benefits of converged voice and data networks, QoE Monitor uses a central control server with multiple remote agents to measure and track the QoS of voice and data communications throughout any IP, PSTN or wireless network. A key feature of the QoE Monitor system is that it uses a unique Mean Opinion Score (MOS) measurement technique based on ITU standardized psychoacoustic models to measure service quality from the end-user's perspective.
The QoE Monitor system gives network operators the intelligence needed to reconfigure network elements, add bandwidth or do whatever is necessary to maintain the appropriate levels of service quality.' Today's network management tools do not have the proper measurement and analytical capabilities needed to measure what the end-user is actually experiencing,' said Walter van Hooff, President of QoE Systems. 'QoE Monitor provides a single measure that captures all of the QoS criteria that an end-user cares about. This significantly lowers the costs and increases the accuracy of QoS monitoring in multi-technology networks.'
'The equipment and services markets for managing converged networks is growing rapidly,' said Eric Goodness, Principal Analyst with the Gartner Group. 'Enterprises want the expanded functionality, flexibility and lower costs of converged networks, but they must be sure that the quality of these new services remain above minimum standards.
Accomplishing this requires a cost-effective monitoring system or service that provides accurate and timely QoS performance data.' The QoE Monitor solution has multiple elements including a Control Center Server, remote agent probes known as SQRA's, and a QoE Monitor Software Module for each service to be measured. The SQRA's come equipped with multiple interfaces depending on the type of network and the specific application including IP and POTS networks. The probes are distributed at key locations throughout the network.
They repeatedly initiate service calls to one another, measure the MOS value of the service quality and report the information back to the Control Center Server. The server collects and analyzes the results, and reports the findings through an interactive Web interface.The system uses standardized MOS algorithms such as ITU-T P.862 PESQ to measure the voice and audio quality of each test call and communications session. These algorithms correlate very highly to actual human perception testing and thus provide very accurate measurements of service quality as perceived by the end-user. This approach generates a single value that accurately represents the overall quality of the session. If the value falls below an established threshold, additional parameters are available to help operators pinpoint why the results were below expectations.Pricing and Availability: The Control Center Server, SQRAs and QoE Monitor PESQ Software Module are available today in enterprise and carrier configurations.
The enterprise solution starts at $48,000 and the carrier version begins at $118,000. Both have volume discounts available for purchases of multiple SQRA's. QoE Systems also offers a hosting service where network operators may lease SQRAs and utilize a hosted Control Center Server.

New Firm Uses Mean Opinion Score (MOS) Measurement Techniques In The Lab And In The Network.San Jose, CA, March 29: QoE Systems Holding Inc., 'QoE Systems', today announced its vision to use ITU standards-based objective-perceptual models for Quality of Service (QoS) laboratory testing and network monitoring. Focusing on the testing and measurement needs of large enterprises and carriers, QoE Systems will provide both laboratory-based and network-based solutions. A key element of the QoE Systems vision is the use of unique MOS measurement techniques based on ITU standardized psychoacoustic models to provide more accurate measures of service quality based on the end-user's perception. This approach will empower network operators that wish to reap the cost savings and advanced service benefits of combined voice and data networks with the tools needed to maintain expected levels of voice, video and data quality.' QoE Systems' psychoacoustic measurement approach based on standard ITU models is a superior technique for measuring multimedia QoS,' said Walter van Hooff, President of QoE Systems. 'Other systems simply measure isolated network parameters such as latency and jitter.
These statistics can be helpful, but they do not necessarily give an accurate picture of what the end user is experiencing.' 'Enterprises and carriers want to save costs and offer new advanced services through converged networks,' said Stephen Elliot, Senior Analyst of Network Management at IDC. 'An ongoing challenge for these network operators is how to monitor and maintain QoS to meet their service level agreements (SLA). Scalable, cost-effective, easy-to-deploy network monitoring solutions that provide accurate and actionable information will help accelerate the growth of these new networks and applications.' A strong compliment of cost-effective laboratory testing and network monitoring solutions enables carriers to provide new advanced multimedia services with competitive quality guarantees in the form of Service Level Agreements. This will improve the reliability of these services and accelerate their growth and revenue potential.For enterprises, the bottom-line savings from switching to a single network for voice and data is very compelling, but it will not work if the Quality of Service falls below acceptable levels.
A cost-effective and accurate monitoring solution that is easy to deploy and manage will provide timely information to network operators enabling them to make critical adjustments to keep users happy.A key element of QoE Systems' approach is that it uses standardized MOS algorithms such as ITU-T P.862 PESQ for voice, to measure the QoS of individual communications sessions. These algorithms correlate very highly to actual human perception testing and thus provide very accurate measurements of service quality as perceived by the end user. This technique accurately simplifies QoS measurement to a single value resulting in cost-effective solutions that can easily be deployed in the lab and throughout a network.
