New VoIP and IMS test system announced

A new test solution for VoIP and IMS systems has been launched by Ixia.

The company says the IxVoice test solution enables equipment manufacturers and operators to qualify IMS infrastructure as well as allow more extensive VoIP interoperability testing.

Additions to this 4.10 version include the capability to emulate the HSS (Home Subscriber Server) as well as support for SIP Sigcomp for testing Call Service Control Functions (CSCF).

"IMS poses incredible implementation and deployment challenges," said Errol Ginsberg, CEO of Ixia.

"IxVoice has the inherent flexibility needed to enable service providers and network equipment manufacturers to test under such variable conditions, enabling the emulation of a vast number of different network elements and functions."

He added that Ixia's IxVoice test solution is designed to validate the key IMS subsystems for interoperability, functionality and performance and supports the dynamic architecture requirements inherent in large-scale IMS networks.
