Three top-tier network operators in the U.S. recently chose the Spirent Communications SmartSight and QoS Scope solutions to introduce new revenue-generating Ethernet-based business services.
Spirent says it’s enabling this trio of service providers to better manage their operational and capital expenses while meeting the necessary Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) levels essential to win in today's competitive marketplace.
"The ability to ensure network quality prior to service activation is a huge advantage," said John Cunningham, president, Service Assurance Broadband group at Spirent Communications. "Spirent remains the only company delivering an Ethernet testing solution that allows carriers to rapidly launch new services as well as decisively troubleshoot potential issues once a network is live and operating."
By leveraging the Ethernet testing expertise from the lab into the field, Spirent says it ensures that customers are able to better diagnose and troubleshoot the complex technology issues related to delivering Ethernet services over converged networks. This effort then allows service providers to focus on expanding their competitive footprint.
The company believes its solution is uniquely positioned to address carrier class business service offerings with a proven test platform producing a competitive advantage. It allows service providers to outperform their competition utilizing fewer resources per Ethernet line in service, according to Spirent. The improved service response capability is said to reduce customer churn, maintains up-sell potential to higher speeds and more exotic services, and improves existing revenue retention while increasing new revenue potential.
