Ibys Technologies participates in the upcoming QoS/QoE ITU-T Workshop in Kenya

Ibys Technologies has the pleasure to announce its participation in the ITU-T Workshop on "Delivering Good Quality Telecommunication Service in a Safe Environment in Africa", in Nairobi - Kenya, (July, 26 - 31, 2010).

Ibys will take the chance to show how its QoS/QoE solutions can help to improve the end-user´s experience and how Telecommunication Regulators would be able to benchmark the delivered quality of services of the different local operators.

In this Workshop, Ibys will reveal the latest technologies of End-to-End Quality of Service testing, measuring and monitoring. Xplorer QoS System is one of the very few solutions worldwide for complete End-to-End Quality Monitoring and Testing of Telecommunication Services. Our solution is able to monitor all types of networks like GSM, GPRS, EDGE, 3G, 3.5G, CDMA, CDMA2000, PSTN, WiMAX, xDSL, etc. Examples of monitored services are Voice Services, Internet Services, VoIP, IVR, Messaging Services (SMS, MMS, etc.) and much more.

Request for a meeting with Ibys' End-to-End QoS Monitoring experts by sending an email to sales@ibys.net.

What is the ITU?

The International Telecommunication Union is an agency of the United Nations which regulates information and communication technology issues. For nearly 145 years, ITU has coordinated the shared global use of the radio spectrum, promoted international cooperation in assigning satellite orbits, worked to improve telecommunication infrastructure in the developing world and established worldwide standards.

ITU also organizes worldwide and regional exhibitions and forums, such as ITU TELECOM WORLD, bringing together representatives of government and the telecommunications and ICT industry to exchange ideas, knowledge and technology.

IBYS launches new Version of its PDA QoS Testing Solution

Madrid (June 30, 2010), Ibys Technologies, a Spanish independent provider of End-to-end “Quality of Service” (QoS) Testing, Performance and Monitoring Solutions, announces the launch of the new version of its solution “Xplorer QoS Programmable Device”. This new version allows to execute tests and to measure the Quality of Service of telecommunication networks based on GSM, GPRS, UMTS and HSPA just using a PDA.

Ibys Technologies’ core solution Xplorer QoS System until now used Probe Units that are in charge of executing all Quality of Service tests. Each of these Probe Units simulates complex end-user behaviour handling up to 8 test interfaces at the same time. Like end-users, the Probe Units use devices like PDA, commercial and industrial cell phones, PSTN lines, xDSL routers, WiMAX interfaces, etc. for the testing process, either for fixed location as for driving tests.

The new version is now able to monitor Network, Voice, Messaging and Internet services without having the PDA physically connected to a Probe Unit. The new Xplorer QoS Programmable Device is a remote Mobile Terminal that allows testing and monitoring the Network, Voice, Messaging and Internet services at any site or place without having to install a complete Probe Unit. This device communicates automatically with the Control Unit, for programming tasks, collected measurement data and to notify alarms.

The Programmable Device works as an autonomous device that is managed, configured and programmed from the Control Unit of the Xplorer system just like any standard Probe Unit. The Programmable Device collects and measures all the necessary parameters that are send to Xplorer’s Control Unit, the central administration, configuration and reporting server, which is in charge of processing and analysing the collected data to generate QoS Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and the desired quality reports. The route of Walk Tests can be visualized within the Geographical Map Representation Module of the centralized Reporting System. The physical communication between the Control Unit and the Programmable Device is performed in a completely transparent manner to the user.

The Control Unit also provides a complete centralized supervision of all PDA, which provides real-time monitoring tools for Network Coverage, Cell-Id, LAC and availability of either 2G or 3G, Loss of RF signal, fading, Cell Changes, Device internal data (battery status and device capabilities).

Ibys’ CEO Fernando Palop says, “The Xplorer QoS Programmable Device is the new generation of Monitoring and Testing of Quality of telecommunication services. This new version of our solution doesn’t only give the operators the chance to acquire a lightweight but complete QoS/QoE solution enabled for a massive KPI monitoring, it also provides a system which is able to measure QoS/QoE in places where fix Probe Units and Driving Tests Probe Units cannot reach as on Walk Tests in Shopping Malls, Governmental Buildings, Executive offices or floors in companies, etc.”

The new version of Xplorer QoS Programmable Device can run as an independent solution or as an extension module to Xplorer QoS System.
