Agama Technologies today announces that A1 Telekom Austria, the country’s leading telecommunications company, expands its IPTV quality monitoring set-up with Agama’s Embedded Monitoring Solution to cover the complete end-to-end service distribution. With this deployment, A1 strengthens its strategic and proactive approach to systematically improve service quality and increase customer satisfaction.

Based on requirements for an unprecedented end-to-end understanding of the A1 TV service distribution to each individual subscriber, A1 now extends its existing Agama installation with embedded set-top box monitoring for efficient last-mile and in-home service quality assurance. With a quality monitoring solution reaching from the headend site all the way to the point of actual service consumption, the telco gains full insight in the distributed service quality throughout its deployment. This will support real-time problem discovery and impact analysis, proactive and cost-effective customer support processes, as well as enable methodical improvements of the overall service quality.

“It’s with great pleasure we see that A1 selects to expand their Agama solution to become a cornerstone for their IPTV quality assurance processes, following the clear trend of telcos deploying TV service quality assurance solutions capable of supporting the entire organization also from a business perspective,” states Mikael Dahlgren, CEO at Agama Technologies. ”The Agama DTV Monitoring Solution is today the most widely deployed end-to-end system for this purpose, and since the first installation our customers have achieved remarkable results in their structured quality improvement processes. In deployments, we have seen drastically lowered numbers of incoming calls to customer support, truck rolls and unnecessary STB swaps almost reduced to zero, and actual measurable increases in customer satisfaction.”

Today Agama can announce a boost of the Agama Analyzer product family, a versatile range of components for real-time service quality monitoring and assurance in video headends and distribution networks. New built-in core features for confidence monitoring and visual inspection provide enhanced capabilities for TV service operators to carry out efficient offline analysis and troubleshooting throughout their deployments.

The extended Analyzer core features include;
• Live Play – for instant visual confirmation and confidence monitoring of streams through HTTP streaming for playback of the video and audio to an engineer’s PC. The feature works out of the box on any monitored channel at any time.
• Triggered Recording – for creating automatic “before, during and after” recordings when fine-grained triggering events, down to individual alarms, occur on monitored channels. This high-capacity feature is configurable for all monitored channels simultaneously, and can be used when performing in-depth offline analysis and further troubleshooting or gathering solid facts for trouble reports towards active video processing or network equipment vendors.
• Stream Forwarding – forwarding of monitored transport streams to selected IP addresses, for instance to a range of set-top boxes in a central headend, which can form the basis for powerful stationary video confidence monitoring applications.
