Advanced Communication Test System software by VIAVI Broadband Instruments performs VoIP and high-speed data testing.

As the name suggests this new server performs a variety of tests related to cable system advanced communication services, including VoIP and high speed data. The server enables a VoIP RTP test from any field test point with or without Unsolicited Grant Service (UGS), as well as high speed throughput (UDP up to 40 Mbps max).

The VoIP test enables efficient service pre-installation verification with a simple, yet comprehensive set of measurement data including upstream and downstream latency, jitter, packet loss and MOS. The throughput test adds an increased level of security, by enabling customizable communication ports, and it doesn’t write files to the hard drive.
