IPTV Service Quality Assurance Solution - An Overview

For IPTV, picture quality, channel availability, and channel change response times mean everything to subscribers, who have very high expectations and very low tolerance for anything less than the same quality of experience (QoE) they have received from their traditional television services.

CertusNet's IPTV service assurance solution offers visibility into the quality of the underlying network transmission infrastructure, video content, and the overall customer experience - the three most important components of the IPTV network. Our solution can also take the proactive action to solve or mitigate the problem automatically by rerouting the media stream.
