Deutsche Telekom AG has signed on with Shenick Network System's diversifEye to test network performance and the quality for its T-Com triple-play IPTV, VoIP and high speed Internet applications for broadband end user services.

T-Com is a full-service provider of IT and telecommunications solutions for private customers and small businesses in Germany. T-Com's success is based on its high-performance network infrastructure. T-Com's broadband triple play services in the future will deliver the highest quality end user service under a variety of scalable, operational conditions and usage scenarios. Rolling out IPTV and triple play services demand excellent quality of experience for every customer. T-Com requires a highly granular, realistic perspective on service and performance, right down to the triple play subscriber household level and the individual users therein.

With diversifEye 3.0, Shenick provides the degree of granularity required to test overall performance and quality of service (QoS), coupled with the ability to drill down to each IPTV, VoIP and internet user for true quality of experience (QoE) assessment. Shenick provides T-Com with the ability to test on a user, application and network basis in a single box test system helping T-Com, to provide every customer with the highest quality service.

Robert Winters, c o-founder and chief marketing officer, Shenick Network Systems said, "Telecom operators worldwide are already delivering IPTV and full triple play broadband services and it's essential for organisations such as T-Com to emulate what each customer experience will be to determine performance and quality limitations and potential service bottlenecks before or during deployment"

Shenick's diversifEye is an integrated test system that provides both network operators and communications equipment manufacturers with the ability to create and test the most realistic triple play subscriber usage scenarios.
