JDSU PVA-1000's "Auto Capture" Remote Monitoring Vital Technique to Eliminate Poor Calls

JDSU's PVA-1000, a popular and effective software tool providing full analysis of VoIP telephone calls . including jitter, packet loss and audio playback . has been upgraded to include two critical test features that strengthen its ability to perform VoIP test for carriers delivering service in IMS, fixed-mobile convergence environments. The features are compatible with a variety of network service and infrastructure types, including softphones, wireless IMS networks, wireline networks, VPN and Enterprise.

A new Capture Agent now allows the PVA-1000 to monitor multiple calls and generate individual packet capture files for each call that falls below a mean opinion score threshold, a common metric to determine optimal call quality. The resulting capture file can be automatically transferred to a pre- defined server. These capture agents can be placed on switch port analyzer ports, PCs with softphones (PC-based software that converts PC into a telephone) or desktop PCs connected to IP phones. This low-cost flexible deployment combined with fully automated operation makes them ideal for network turn-up, acceptance and troubleshooting applications.

In addition, the PVA-1000 can perform signaling trace, audio playback and full decodes of signaling and media packets, improving the ability for operators to quickly and proactively troubleshoot common errors in VoIP performance such as delay and echo.
