LONDON-Network performance company Actix announced its GPRS IVS product, which the company said supports the troubleshooting and optimization of push-to-talk services. Further, the company said Nextel Communications Inc., Verizon Wireless and Sprint PCS use the company’s products to optimize the performance of PTT services.
“Combining Actix’s support for standard PTT protocols such as RTP and SIP with our software’s ability to enable end-to-end synchronization and visualization of multiple data sets, has meant that we have already been able to fully integrate PTT optimization and troubleshooting functionality into our wireless performance engineering solutions, including GPRS IVS,” said Duncan Vardy, the company’s head of product management. “This will enable GSM/GPRS operators worldwide to quickly and successfully deploy PTT services, which have so far proved to be a very positive additional revenue stream.”
Actix said its PTT product works to track latency and packet loss and also allows engineers to determine where problems are occurring.
