SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Spirent Communications, a leader in testing wireless networks, services and devices, today announced the launch of Spirent Nomad HD call and voice measurement system. As VoLTE deployments ramp up, and early device support for the technology varies in implementation and performance, Nomad HD provides critical voice quality analysis for HD voice and VoLTE services on any device, across any network. As the first measurement system of its kind, Nomad HD provides a comprehensive package for HD voice quality measurements and call performance testing to support the evolution of voice services. It incorporates Perceptual Objective Listening Quality Assessment (POLQA), a next generation voice testing methodology standardized by the ITU. Using the POLQA algorithm for HD Voice and VoLTE voice quality measurement allows for actionable comparison between legacy circuit-switched and packet-switched voice from the same service provider, across networks and technologies. Nomad HD makes available to the industry a much-needed capability to simultaneously measure VoLTE voice quality, delay and call performance objectively under real-world conditions in both lab and field environments.“Spirent recognizes the industry’s push to deploy VoLTE services and realizes that its success depends on consistent, reliable and comprehensive testing,” said Spirent’s divisional vice president, Des Owens. “With Nomad HD, operators can ensure that VoLTE delivers the same or better voice quality as the previous generation of voice services and can invest in the future with confidence.” Spirent Communications plc
