Tektronix Communications, a provider of network intelligence solutions, today announced new product enhancements that provide fixed, mobile and converged network operators with the necessary capability required to monitor key protocols in IP signalling and transport networks.
The enhancements to Tektronix Communications' GeoProbe monitoring system and Unified Assurance for Converged Networks (UACN) suite of products help operators advance their development of converged services and networks towards IP while reducing the cost of ownership.
"Tektronix Communications is committed to helping network operators achieve the vision of convergence and evolution towards an all-IP environment," said Mark Driedger, Vice President and General Manager, Network Management, Tektronix Communications. "As operators make this transition, there is a clear need to show ROI at every step. They must also address a tremendous amount of complexity with this shift to all IP, and having visibility across the network and over multiple protocols is critical."
Network operators face a broad array of technology challenges and financial pressures as they deliver complex services that span multiple network technologies into an increasingly competitive market. These enhancements to Tektronix Communications' scalable portfolio of probes and network, service and customer-assurance software packages, enable operators to address these challenges better – with access to actionable information to monitor network performance and deliver services and applications more effectively to their customers.
The need to address complex protocols across signalling and transport networks is critical to ensuring network and service performance. The three new enhancements address signalling, converged and mobile networks – and will enable operators to monitor across a broader range of technologies as they migrate from legacy to next-generation networks.
