Introduction to VoIP Voice Quality Testing

Access to the webinar requires registration on PMC-Sierra's website and approval to view this webinar.

What to Expect

Driven by downward price pressure from ever-increasing competition and consumer demand for enhanced services, carriers are seeking to leverage VoIP for capital and operational cost reductions and to provide innovative value-added features. However, meeting customers’ voice service quality expectations set by legacy circuit switched networks will be necessary for the mainstream market penetration of IP telephony. Fast, accurate, and non-resource intensive voice quality testing is key to speeding VoIP equipment and network design and deployment, as well as to meeting service quality objectives in operation.

The webinar will:

• Define voice quality elements in the context of VoIP networks
• Explore the factors affecting VoIP voice quality
• Discuss how voice quality is measured, including coverage of common subjective and objective test algorithms and real-world test results
• Present an overview of VoIP terminal design for optimal voice quality
• Conclude with a live Q&A session
