Tollgrade (Booth #57000) introduces a VoIP test point on the hybrid fiber/coax plant, where most problems arise.

Tollgrade’s Cheetah DOCSIS VoIP Test Point (CMD-E) enables cable operators to proactively monitor the network’s ability to transport VoIP services from the headend to the end-of-line.

Tollgrade’s latest addition to the Cheetah IP/HFC Service Assurance Solution includes the Cheetah CMD-E DOCSIS transponder--the industry’s first environmentally hardened, line-powered combination E-MTA and DOCSIS test point in a strand mountable housing. This device can be deployed anywhere within the HFC network, from optical node to end-of-line, to measure VoIP quality from the head-end to the very edge of the network.

Tollgrade’s Cheetah IP/HFC Service Assurance Solution provides unparalleled visibility of VoIP and IP network performance both in and out of the HFC network. By gathering real-time call quality metrics to identify transient problems and provide comprehensive diagnostic data, VoIP service is assured for pre-deployment and ongoing VoIP services between regions, nodes and to the HFC end-of-line.
