SUWANEE, Ga. -- Telchemy,® Incorporated, the global leader in real-time Voice over IP (VoIP) Fault and Performance Management technology, and NexTone Communications, the market leader in real-time session management, today announced that NexTone has licensed Telchemy's VQmon® call quality monitoring and analysis software for use in its Multiprotocol Session Controller (MSC).

Specifically, NexTone will feature VQmon/SA (Stream Analysis) call quality analysis algorithms in its industry-leading MSC product for carriers and enterprises to use in monitoring, diagnosing, and managing network call and packet-related problems. NexTone's MSC enforces QoS policies across the network edge, thus enabling carriers and enterprises to route, manage, and control real-time traffic at minimal cost.

"Our use of Telchemy's VQmon is evidence of our commitment to provide customers with the latest technology and innovation," stated Hank Firey, chief executive officer of NexTone. "VQmon/SA is fast, accurate and compact; and it provides the detailed Voice over IP call quality analysis that our carrier and enterprise customers need as they deploy VoIP and other real-time multimedia services."

NexTone's MSC is deployed at the network edge and operates alone or in conjunction with a core call control engine such as the NexTone Multiprotocol Signaling Switch (MSW). The MSC's FlexPeer capabilities, consisting of dynamic call admission control, SIP/H.323 interworking function, network address translation (NAT) and VoIP firewall functionality, provide IP carriers with flexible, secure interconnections to other IP-based carriers and enterprises.
