Faroese Telecom Ensures IPTV Quality with Agama's Monitoring Solution
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(LINKÖPING, August 30, 2011) -Agama Technologies, the DTV quality assurance
expert, today announces that Faroese Telecom, the incumbent Telco in the Faroe
Islands, has selected Agama to provide a complete monitoring solution for its
linear IPTV service distribution. The deployed end-to-end solution will support
Faroese Telecom in ensuring their customers' TV experience and in achieving
operational excellence in their video delivery.
As the incumbent service operator in the Faroe Islands, Faroese Telecom provides
all the traditional national telecom services, including a TV service on a
terrestrial DVB-T network, and is now taking the next natural step with IPTV. To
ensure the IPTV service quality all the way from creation in the head-end to
consumption in each subscriber's home, the Telco has selected to deploy Agama's
DTV Monitoring Solution.
"We want to make sure that our customer will have an extraordinary TV experience
when entering IPTV service and by monitoring the whole IPTV supply chain,
including the set-top box, we can verify the service quality delivered in the
customer home, as well as avoiding truck rolls," says Edvard Joensen, Head of
Business Development at Faroese Telecom. "As an established and experienced
vendor, Agama has provided us with a very viable monitoring solution with a
broad set of monitoring features."
The selected solution performs real-time IPTV service quality monitoring from
the head-end to each individual subscriber. TheAgama Analyzer continuously
verifies in detail that the services from the playout are correct in all
dimensions, both objectively and subjectively. The Agama Embedded Monitoring
probe, seamlessly integrated with all deployed Amino 140 and 540 STBs, provides
stateful and efficient service quality monitoring of each connected subscriber.
By correlating and presenting QoE and QoS data aggregated from the Analyzers and
the STBs, the central Agama Enterprise Server gives instantaneous end-to-end
overviews of the delivered IPTV service quality and shows the extent of any
problem and its position in the distribution chain.
"We are delighted that Faroese Telecom has chosen Agama after evaluating
different solutions for IPTV quality assurance, and we warmly welcome them as a
new customer," says Mikael Dahlgren, CEO at Agama Technologies. "It is with
great pleasure we deliver our proven solution and field expertise to support yet
another incumbent Telco in offering first-class IPTV service quality to their
market."
