TraceSpan Improves Quality-of-Experience in Rural Broadband Networks

By Rajani Baburajan, TMCnet Contributor


TraceSpan (News - Alert) Communications, a provider of broadband analysis and monitoring solutions, announced it is offering multi-layer analyzers for broadband access lines to help rural service providers improve their customers' quality-of-experience.


“TraceSpan's Xpert analyzers can passively analyze the access network during live sessions and ensure its utilization as an error-free pipe -- a key condition for successful service deployment,” a statement from the company said. “They can also measure the influence of crosstalk and other interferences on QoS and QoE to help the service providers develop and test means to mitigate these interferences.”

Recently Calix, a global provider of broadband communications access systems with a strong footprint in the rural service provider space, selected TraceSpan’s analyzer for ADSL2Plus and VDSL2 networks.  

Calix is using the Xpert analyzers to develop their "Best Practice" concept for deploying IPTV (News - Alert) services over copper. This concept is being implemented to deploy services with Calix's more than 900 customers, whose networks serve over 50 million subscriber lines in total.

TraceSpan's family of Xpert analyzers provides solutions for both fiber and copper networks. The DSL Xpert and VDSL Xpert analyzers support the most advanced techniques for utilization of the copper networks, including bonding, vectoring and physical layer retransmission. The GPON Xpert is the leading real-time multi-layer GPON analyzer, which can analyze and troubleshoot the GPON network itself as well as the services delivered over GPON.

"TraceSpan has always been focused on providing revolutionary tools for broadband access networks testing and troubleshooting," said Hanan Herzberg, TraceSpan founder and CEO, in a statement. "The growth in the rural service providers' networks, which is strongly accelerated by the U.S. government stimulus plan, has given us an excellent chance to leverage our experience and work with Calix (News - Alert) and their customers to improve their networks and services for the benefits of their subscribers."

Recently TraceSpan announced the release of G.INP support for its VDSL Xpert analyzer. This follows a similar announcement for the company's DSL Xpert analyzer in December of last year and completes G.INP support in all of the relevant TraceSpan analyzers.

TraceSpan will present its solutions in booth #324 in the FTTH Conference and Expo, which will take place in the Walt Disney (News - Alert) World, Orlando, FL, USA, on September 26th through 30th, the company said.
