Operax Completes TI Trial

STOCKHOLM -- Operax, the leading vendor of Network Service Quality control solutions, has today announced a successful field trial of Operax Bandwidth Manager 5500 with Telecom Italia, Italy’s largest communications provider. The trial was undertaken to assess Bandwidth Manager 5500 as a means of assuring Quality of Service (QoS) for IP applications on Telecom Italia’s Next-Generation Network (NGN).

The field test, conducted in Rome and Turin, supported Telecom Italia’s Alice VoIP service offering. The field trial of Operax Bandwidth Manager 5500 served to assess the viability of an external Resource and Admission Control component. The field trial was carried out on a cutting edge ATCA platform and provides further evidence of the Operax application’s robust and scaleable capabilities. Operax Bandwidth Manager performed well on all levels, and included functional testing as well as high availability and performance analysis.

Stefano Nocentini, Head of Tilab - Innovation, Engineering, Testing - at Telecom Italia, said: “The trial with Operax Bandwidth Manager was successful and demonstrated the suitability of the technology for managing multiple sessions of single services”.

Jeremy Deaner, General Manager EMEA & APAC at Operax, commented: “This successful field trial with Telecom Italia is a major achievement for Operax, and reinforces that our proposition for IP services is deployable for Telecom Italia. We believe the carrier-grade capability of Operax products is well-proven by this and similar projects with other Tier-1 Service Providers”.
