Trend Unipro VoIP tester
Trend Communications has introduced a low-cost, handheld, wired and wireless Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) tester, the Trend Unipro VoIP.
Telephony using VoIP has evolved over time and is now ready to be employed by telecoms companies as the primary transmission technology for voice over their networks.
As a revenue-earning service, VoIP installations must perform correctly but until now there have been no dedicated field testers to verify performance, according to Trend.
The Trend Unipro VoIP is small, light and portable, and measures voice and data transmission quality.
The tester has both Ethernet and WiFi interfaces to provide connection to both wired and wireless networks and SIP-based VoIP systems.
Voice quality tests are determined using objective ratings such as the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) and R-Factor.
Additionally jitter, delay and loss metrics are recorded and decoded SIP signalling is available for inspection.
Data tests include Ping and Traceroute as well as FTP and HTTP service testing for traditional IP-based network connection testing.
