The Fortissimo is an analog network load generator that simulates telephony subscribers placing calls into.

Some of these vendors offer point solutions for testing specific elements of a VoIP network; others offer complete end-to-end VoIP lifecycle solutions. In the end, all of these vendors offer technology that is designed to help service providers and enterprises who are deploying VoIP deliver a product that meets their requirements.These solutions feature new levels of testing capacity and scalability, and they are designed to test carrier grade applications, such as VoIP and IPTV, with increasing forays into IMS testing. These vendors test every relevant protocol, and every type of access, including wireless.We also list among the testing vendors two testing labs that have carved out a name for themselves in the industry.So, if youre in the market for a testing solution, we invite you to use this list as a starting point.Agilent TechnologiesVoice Quality Tester( -)The Voice Quality Tester (VQT) is a comprehensive and objective voice quality test system.

Ameritech Feature Call Card

It enables the design, deployment, and operation of voice services on next generation networks by providing accurate and objective testing of voice service quality. The VQT provides detailed test and analysis capabilities for voice quality on modern telephony networks such as IP.The VQT Ethernet VoIP interface is available on the J6800A Network Analyzers 10/100 Mbps Ethernet NIC. The VQT Ethernet VoIP interface supports VoIP call generation using the SIP and H.323, and the G.711 and G.729 codecs. The VQT Ethernet VoIP interface enables testing directly into an IP network for the following applications:Troubleshoot voice quality impairments by segmenting an IP network for fault isolation great for network delay and clarity analysis;Assess voice performance of Pre-VoIP Networks; andTest voice quality for VoIP end users VQT emulates an IP phone.Ameritec CorporationFortissimo NLG-IP( -)The Fortissimo NLG-IP is a SIP network load generator that simulates high volumes of SIP subscribers placing calls into the network. The unit is designed to give the user flexibility to serve a wide range of applications associated with switch and network testing. This high volume of bulk call generation can be combined with complex call testing capability. Through the use of user defined call scripts and line protocols, users can tailor test scenarios to meet a wide range of testing requirements.Each unit supports 192 SIP subscribers being simulated with full bearer path testing and support for registration, authentication, G.711/G.729 encoding and proxy servers via software selectable parameters.The actions of each simulated subscriber are independently controlled through unique parameter fields defined in user programmed Call Scripts.

Call Scripts include capabilities for testing signaling, dialing, Voice over Packet, QoS (GMOS, G-PSQM, G-PESQ R-Factor,) digit decoding, tone sending, path verification, and tone receive. The Scripts define calling patterns and can simulate practically any action a live caller can perform. Scripts can also simulate multiple subscribers allowing testing of multiple-party calls such as conference calling.Arca Technologiesemutel Harmony( -)emutel Harmony is an efficient, cost-effective, and flexible tool, invaluable for use in the development, performance verification, and pre-deployment testing of many types of VoIP, ISDN, and analog equipment. The product combines comprehensive load testing and network simulation capabilities, detailed protocol analysis, extensive call statistics, and quality of service measurements in an easily affordable and user-friendly package.An advanced Bulk Call generator, the emutel Harmonys modular architecture provides a powerful, robust platform that can be tailored to meet your current testing requirements and expanded to include additional options as your needs evolve. A single system can provide anything from one to 15 Ethernet interfaces, eight to 120 E1/T1 interfaces, 16 to 240 analog interfaces, or any combination of the above.The emutel Harmony provides an integrated IP and TDM platform designed to enable testers to completely surround a device under test.
