Overview

Testing on the extreme end-point of a VoIP softphone network has become a priority for many service providers. This method of testing represents what an end user is actually experiencing.

Voice quality testing within VoIP networks is growing; a major concern is testing VoIP softphones that will be used with VoIP networks. The GL VQuad™ with VoIP option along with Voice Quality Testing (VQT PESQ) software provides the ability to perform manual or automated tests on the VoIP network.

The VQuad™ with VoIP option provides the ability to perform manual or automated tests on the VoIP network. The VQuad™ provides direct connection to the VoIP network with up to eight instances connected simultaneously. Using the VQuad™ software, the user may configure automatic call control (SIP protocol) along with automatic generation/reception of voice files. Path confirmation using digits or frequency tones is also available in an automated or manual operation.

The VQuad™ along with the Dual UTA can connect to a VoIP network in several ways including through an ATA (the Dual UTA simulates the analog phone), through a Softphone (the Dual UTA provides Balanced I/O ports), via wireless (the Dual UTA connects to any mobile phone using Bluetooth technology), and through the customer’s phone itself (the Dual UTA can replace the handset of ANY analog, digital, or VoIP phone). The VQuad™ can also act as an end point and directly connect to the VoIP network via SIP protocol.

The VQuad™ when simulating the VoIP end point User Agent or the Analog 2-wire Phone supports full Call Control included supplementary services such as 3-Way Calling. The VQuad™ also supports path confirmation, send/record voice synchronously for VQT PESQ results and full scripting of the test. Additional measurements include Round Trip Delay, One Way Delay and a variety of Echo testing.

Waveform/Spectral Viewer

The GL VQT software can be user-configured to provide a rating of each measurement based on the MOS, latency, clipping, etc. A poorly rated measurement can be viewed in graphical format using the waveform viewer. Dropouts, noise and other impairments can be examined here.

Voice Quality Testing (VQT) Results

GL's VQT may be executed automatically (real-time and/or post-processing) or manually by entering a Reference File and Degraded File. Regardless of how GL's VQT is initiated, algorithms for PAMS, PSQM, PSQM+, PESQ MOS and PESQ LQ are executed simultaneously for the two voice files and results are shown graphically as well as in a tabular format. GL's VQT also displays cumulative statistics for large scale testing over long periods of time.
