TELECOM PRODUCT TESTING

Overview
Telecom Service Providers are rapidly transforming their legacy networks to support new IP and Multimedia services.
Network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) face a constant challenge to expedite the development, testing and
deployment of new network elements that offer a wide range of value-added, revenue generating services. Testing of such
complex network elements in a service-oriented network in terms of interoperability, service quality and end-user
experience often pose a significant challenge.
