LARKSPUR, Calif.-Dilithium Networks, which provides wireless multimedia solutions, said it has developed a quality of service measurement tool for third-generation operators.
The product, VT-Probe, allows operators that offer advanced video services such as video telephony, video conferencing and real-time streaming, to perform measurements on their networks assessing quality of real-time video services. VT-Probe is a software platform that uses 3G-324M/H.324M technology to make and receive calls at regular intervals to other probes in the network and performs a variety of QoS key performance indicator measurements that cover service accessibility, reliability and media quality.
“Conversational video services are a key differentiator for 3G operators throughout the world,” said Paul Zuber, chief executive officer of Dilithium Networks. “As more operators offer 3G video services, it is clearly important for them to perform network measurements and gather call statistics throughout their network, comparable to that of their existing voice networks.”
In other news, Dilithium licensed its H.324M/3G-324M video telephony/video conferencing protocol software to Datang Mobile Communications Equipment Co. Ltd. According to the agreement, Datang will use Dilithium Network’s H.324M/3G-324M multimedia protocol stack to develop its next-generation 3G-324M handsets that support advanced video services.
Datang also purchased the Dilithium Networks Analyzer, a protocol analysis and test tool to solve interoperability problems between H.3234M/3G-324M handsets.
