Enables operators to more effectively analyse their services, optimise their networks, and ultimately improve the end-user experience<\/p>\n
Anite, a global leader in wireless network testing technology, and OPTICOM, the leading provider of signal-based perceptual measurement technology for voice, audio and video, today announced a partnership whereby Anite will implement OPTICOM\u2019s new streaming video quality testing algorithm, PEVQ-S, in its Nemo wireless network testing tools. As a result, network operators and service providers will be able to more accurately evaluate their streaming video service levels from a subscriber\u2019s viewpoint.<\/p>\n
With a growing demand for OTT (over-the-top content) streaming video services (such as IPTV and YouTube) there is also an increasing need to accurately evaluate subscriber Quality-of-Experience (QoE) and Quality-of-Service (QoS). In addition, the wide variety of mobile devices offering different performance levels and screen sizes introduces new challenges for service providers. PEVQ-S is an advanced framework algorithm developed by OPTICOM for full-reference video quality analysis in adaptive streaming environments. It combines FR high accuracy video quality measurements with real-time measurements, even on mobile devices. PEVQ-S will enhance the streaming video quality testing capabilities of Nemo tools by offering standardised exact qualification of video quality and the ability to benchmark video streaming QoE levels, identify perceivable artifacts of network congestion, and to indicate the available headroom for optimisation. PEVQ-S algorithm will be implemented in the Nemo product line during the second half of 2014.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith PEVQ-S we are the first to present a comprehensive, standards-based video quality measurement for OTT services that is able to accurately benchmark subjective subscriber QoE in a long-term context, rather than just testing snapshots of a few seconds\u201d says Michael Keyhl, Founder and CEO of OPTICOM. \u201cPEVQ-S is currently the only tool in the market which not only detects poorly perceived video quality, but at the same time gives a useful indication of the available headroom for QoE optimisation from a subscriber\u2019s subjective point of view. We are very enthusiastic about Anite\u2019s strong support for PEVQ-S right away from the start \u2013 it\u2019s great to see one of the key market leaders for mobile network testing premiere our technology for the benefit of the global market.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe world is currently experiencing an explosion in mobile data traffic \u2013 consumers expect to download more content, more quickly, and with consistent network service at all times. The implementation of PEVQ-S algorithm in Anite\u2019s Nemo tools further strengthens our QoE and QoS testing capabilities, enabling our customers to more effectively analyse their services, optimise their networks and ultimately improve end-user experience\u201d says Jussi Lemil\u00e4inen, Vice President, Product Management and Business Development at Anite\u2019s Network Testing business. He continues, \u201cOPTICOM has been setting the standards for signal-based perceptual measurement technology and we are very pleased to continue to collaborate with them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
