BEAVERTON, Ore. -- Tektronix, Inc. (NYSE:TEK) , a leading worldwide provider of communications network management and diagnostics solutions, announced today the deployment of its GeoProbe network assurance platform and Advanced Performance Monitoring (APM) product by Vodafone Turkey, the second largest mobile phone operator in Turkey.

Both GeoProbe and APM are part of Tektronix' Unified Assurance suite of applications for management of next generation converged networks. Tektronix' monitoring system enables Vodafone Turkey to detect bottlenecks, abnormal situations and performance degradation within its GPRS and GSM network in real time. This proactive management will help Vodafone Turkey provide its customers a higher quality of service.

Vodafone's entrance into the Turkish market represents a major challenge for network planning, network operations and customer care. Tektronix' GeoProbe and APM were selected because of the ability to provide the relevant Key Performance Indicators for benchmarking.

"Vodafone Turkey is dedicated to improving service quality quickly and this has been a priority since the rebranding earlier this year," said Huseyin Koksaldi, Chief Technology Officer, Vodafone Turkey. "Tektronix has proven its value to Vodafone with having been deployed in other countries by Vodafone group operators, and it has a great knowledge of the Turkish market, having supported this market for nearly 10 years. We know their dedication to quality runs as deep as our own commitment."
