LAS VEGAS -- Spirent® Communications (NYSE:SPM - News; LSE:SPT - News) today announced that Spirent Advanced Test Programs (ATP) contributed an array of test equipment as well as professional services and support to the first enterprise triple play test, staged by the University of New Hampshire Interoperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL). Test results are being announced today and can be referenced at ftp://ftp.iol.unh.edu/pub/whitepapers.
Spirent Communications is a worldwide provider of performance analysis and service assurance systems for next-generation network technologies. The test employed Spirent Abacus 5000, Avalanche/Reflector, AX/4000 and SmartBits(TM), which together offer a complete solution for triple play network testing.
Enterprises have begun to deploy complex wired and wireless networks to support an unprecedented combination of triple play data, voice and video applications over a common infrastructure. As detailed in the white paper, the UNH-IOL initiative was the first organized multi-vendor test event that validated the interoperability, performance and scalability testing of such triple play networks. Conducted March 21-25, 2005, the tests incorporated hardware and software products from 13 suppliers.
"Spirent Communications' testing resources tackled every layer of this complex, multidimensional network," said Gerard Goubert, manager of the UNH-IOL wireless and VOX (Voice over Anything) consortia. "Technologies and professional services such as Spirent's will undoubtedly play a vital role in triple play testing overall."
