How Our VoIP Assessments Work
The goal of the Toshiba VoIP assessment is to determine how
well VoIP will sound on your network and diagnose any technical
issues that could negatively impact call quality.
Our unique VoIP assessment solution is very simple to conduct
and separates us from our competition since it does not require
onsite consultants to set up and run the assessment. We simply
ask a site employee to download a small piece of software called
a “traffic agent” onto one or two existing PCs or servers per site.
Then the assessment is run remotely by our engineers without
interrupting your operations.
The assessment determines call quality using traffic agents to
send actual VoIP traffic across your network. It measures the
resulting MOS call quality, network delay, jitter and loss for calls
between any of your business sites.
Figure 2 illustrates a VoIP assessment testing the wide-area
network (WAN) connections between the Los Angeles and New
York offices and between the San Francisco and Denver offices.
The assessment is measuring the WAN performance of 20
concurrent VoIP calls between Los Angeles and New York and
15 concurrent VoIP calls between San Francisco and Denver.
The VoIP calls are run continuously for the duration of the
assessment to measure call quality during different times of
the day and week. At the end of each VoIP call, the results are
reported back from the traffic agents to the test center and
logged in a database. These results are used to create a
detailed report summarizing the results of the VoIP assessment.
At the end of the assessment our clients know the exact state
of their VoIP network readiness:
n
The MOS call quality score between all business sites
n
How many concurrent VoIP calls each WAN will support
between sites
n
The amount of network delay, loss and jitter for each WAN
and LAN connection and how to eliminate these problems
With this information determined before you deploy VoIP, your
initial deployment will exceed user expectations and reduce
your deployment risks and costs.
Conclusion
Your network was not originally designed to carry high quality
voice transmissions. To deploy VoIP successfully you need to
conduct a VoIP Network Assessment first. If you skip this
important step your probability of difficult network challenges
is greater than fifty percent. Eliminate deployment risk, upgrade
cost overruns and dissatisfied users by conducting a Toshiba
VoIP Network Assessment. Your business will thank you for it.
