Saudi Telecom selects JDSU to provide a comprehensive IPTV end-to-end service assurance solution. The solution will give STC the visibility to proactively detect and resolve IPTV service and network quality issues which will help speed repair times and ensure higher Quality-of-Service for subscribers.

The JDSU IPTV solution was also selected by STC for its ability to effectively reduce the complexity involved in assuring IPTV service end-to-end. The solution consolidates all troubleshooting software and hardware elements and offers an easy to access, efficient view of key performance indicators to identify service-affecting issues throughout the entire IPTV network.

The solution for STC is comprised of several products/services:

• JDSU NetComplete Home Performance Management - enables multi-play service providers to extend their service assurance capabilities into the home providing full Quality-of-Service and Quality-of-Experience reporting independent of access technologies used. NetComplete Home PM uses a standards-based methodology which enables flexibility, scalability and manageability of the solution.
• JJDSU MVP-200 - monitors all programs simultaneously, without scanning, and allows engineers to perform detailed troubleshooting of a selected stream or program without any interruption to monitoring.
• JThe Observer RPM 400 (by Volicon) - eliminates manual, visual channel inspections, which are typically an expensive and time-consuming task. Observer RPM provides QoE analysis by automatically scanning all channels via post-STB monitoring, logging and troubleshooting.

JJDSU will also provide integration and customization of third party products as well as consulting, project management, product maintenance and training services.
