QoS for Blackberry Services by Using only a Phone

Madrid (November 19, 2009), Ibys Technologies, the Spanish market leader of End-to-end “Quality of Service” (QoS) Testing, Performance and Monitoring Solutions, announces the extension of its End-to-End QoS solution Xplorer by adding a brand new module that is able to execute tests and to measure the quality of Blackberry services by using just a Blackberry phone.

Ibys Technologies’ Solution Xplorer QoS System uses Probe Units that are in charge of executing all Quality of Service tests. Each of these Probe Units simulates complex end-user behavior handling up to 8 test interfaces at the same time. Like end-users, the Probe Units use devices like Blackberry phones, commercial and industrial cell phones, fixed lines, xDSL routers, WiMAX interfaces, etc. for the testing process.

The new module grants independence to the Blackberry phone and allows monitoring Blackberry services without having the phone physically connected to a Probe Unit. A small Software Agent installed on the Blackberry device monitors the Blackberry services and sends the monitoring data to Xplorer, where the data is processed. The scheduling of all activities is done on the Xplorer System. In addition to the Blackberry service test, this module also allows a monitoring of the device itself. The Xplorer Web interface provides a Real Time Monitor of all active Blackberry devices as well as a historical Log.

Ibys’ CEO, Fernando Palop says, “This new module is absolutely perfect for the operators to deliver best-of-breed services to their Corporate Customers and increase the loyalty of these. This new module within Xplorer is able to monitor the quality of service in the native environment of the end-user itself, places like offices, the VIP lounge in the airport, Malls, etc., where conventional monitoring probes don´t reach.”

Ibys announces the launch of its new local SIM Multiplexer module

Ibys announces the launch of its new local SIM Multiplexer module in its xPlorer QoS solution

Madrid (April 23, 2009), Ibys Technologies, a Spanish independent provider of End-to-end “Quality of Service” (QoS) Testing, Performance and Monitoring Solutions, announces the launch of its new local SIM Multiplexer module within its xPlorer QoS solution. While currently the probe units, which simulate the subscriber’s handhelds, connect through a LAN/WAN network to a centralized SIM server in order to read out SIM card information, now they can additionally use local SIM Card Multiplexers without having to connect to a LAN/WAN network.

Ibys’ xPlorer QoS solution provides Probe Units that use SIM Card Servers which enables remote SIM card multiplexing handling therefore an unlimited amount of SIM cards. The subscriber information of a SIM card is read out by the system and transmitted via a LAN/WAN network to any test location required. Each card may be virtually transmitted to any location without even a single card having to be moved physically.

Ibys Technologies now goes one step ahead. In addition to the SIM card server, now it is possible to have local SIM Multiplexers in each of the Probe Unit. This new feature offers new advantages for both static and mobile/portable probes.

Fernando Palop, Ibys Technologies’ CEO, says: “To cover the mobility aspect, our solution offers the capability to validate services for moving subscribers performing end-to-end services in addition to static subscriber probes. These mobility tests, geared for all types of moving subscribers like taxis, trucks, trains or any other type of mobile subscriber, now can be performed with a large amount of SIM card information without having a LAN/WAN network connection. This allows even a quicker detection of problems due to simultaneous testing at any time with any kind of SIM card combination.”

With this new feature, end-to-end service testing of basic calls, GPRS, EDGE, 3G, 3.5G, roaming, SMS, interactive voice, revenue assurance, MMS, Video Telephony, Voice quality, Streaming, Video Quality, WLAN, web Browsing, WAP, Handset Simulation, PTT, Blackberry, iPhone, etc. can be run with a large amount of different SIM card information dynamically assigned to different end-user handheld models without being connected to an IP network. One local SIM Multiplexer can hold up to 16 SIM cards which can be read by up to 8 handhelds or industrial test phones. For extra local SIM-Card capacity, another 16 SIM-card-Mux can be optionally added to the same Probe Unit.
