Triple Play Analyzer - J6900A

Agilent J6910A Multiplay Performance Manager IP Video Monitoring System

Technical Overview.

Suppose you’re looking for a solution that allows you to monitor the quality of subscriber experience (QoE) at any point in your network. Since multiplay delivers multiple services, you need multiple tools, right? Wrong. Suppose you want deep multiplay diagnostic and troubleshooting capabilities for both the user plane and the control plane. Can’t find that in an experience monitoring tool, right? Wrong. Suppose you’d also like correlated, end-to-end real-time KPI analysis from multiple network locations so that you can find and troubleshoot problems quickly. No point solution can do that, right? Sorry, wrong again.

The Agilent Triple Analyzer (TPA) combines voice, video and service monitoring into a single instrument, which eliminates the cost of buying a product for each service. It provides a full range of accurate QoE testing for VoIP, IPTV, MSTV, and VoD, including measurements for IGMP channel zap and VoD RTSP command response times. The solution works in both fixed and mobile networks, and covers the latest mobile network technologies such as LTE. You may want to install TPA software on a PC and access data through the NDIS interface, or you can use Agilent’s proven Distributed Network Analyzer (DNA) hardware platform, which also supports other powerful Agilent applications.

TPA is far more than just a top-level proven monitoring tool. It provides industry-unique visibility into all levels of protocols, so when a subscriber reports service degradation, TPA can drill down quickly to identify the root cause. You can look at the transport layer, which carries the services; you can see the signaling that sets up a multimedia session; and you can test the quality of services at the application layer.

Looking for end-to-end network analysis? The combination of TPA with Agilent’s Multiplay Performance Manager (MPM) enables distributed monitoring of IP Video streams across an entire network. With MPM, multiple TPA probes can feed data from different network locations to Agilent’s QoS Manager for an aggregated, real-time view based on key performance indicators (KPIs) and for correlated analysis. This accelerates the process of locating and resolving issues, which cuts costs and helps keep subscribers happy.

• Simplify Triple Play Test Complexity
• Reduce development and deployment time: Get ahead in the IPTV race

“We had been trying unsuccessfully to troubleshoot a problem for a few months; Agilent found the problem in a few minutes with their new J6900A Triple Play Analyzer”

“We see clear and distinct advantages in the way Agilent measures MDI”

“Agilent is the only vendor who calculates channel Zap time correctly and accurately”

“We were looking for a product to measure IPTV, and now we see that the Agilent solution is superior and more accurate to all we have seen and will start an evaluation right now”
