FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Will Robertson NTi Announces Entry into Telecommunications
CEO and President, Mr. Bill Williamson said "We are encouraged by the improving economy among the telecommunications sectors in general and in the convergence of data, content and voice onto packet based networks across wide spans of media including physical plant, fiber, teleport, satellite and microwave for both public and private networks where End-to-End performance reporting is key to customer support". The NTi QoS Monitor solution including a new QoS Performance Portal and a subscription based pricing model are being brought to market in the next several months to support the unique needs of telecommunications integrators, aggregators, solution providers and others seeking to provide a value added differentiator to their traditional service offerings. NTi’s products utilize their unique ActiveTranTM Technologies to generate real business logic transactions to emulate user activity with Internet and enterprise applications along with highly directed transactions to the supporting application and network infrastructures to measure the end-to-end response time, latency and availability of the interconnected global data network. These capabilities are being extended to emulate a VoIP client, Web-based client or wireless LAN client in a secure converged IP communications environment in conjunction with capabilities to generate secure transactions over multipoint VPN connections. Additionally, capabilities are being added to test firewalls, intrusion detection and intrusion prevention systems against security policies and filtering requirements. Quality of service, performance and service level metrics are automatically collected from these transactions along with performance statistics from all the components in the communications, security and application infrastructures. "These unique capabilities can make a huge impact for service providers addressing the competitive telecommunications market where convergence is making it difficult to show visible differentiators to prospective midsize customers looking for value added returns on their investments", said Bill Williamson, CEO. "The Internet became the dominant design of networking for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industries in the late 1990’s along with changing the competitive environment. Industry consolidation following the dominant design is now opening a process innovation period where All applications become IP-based and are transported over an All-IP environment. In the next 10 years, the penetration of All-IP applications to corporate and consumer use will take place. The growth in ICT is partly characterized by the increase of personal computing and partly by telecommunications. In telecommunications, the transition from simple connectivity services to mobile, data and content delivery services over IP networks is proceeding. The second wave of this transition (2000-2006) will bring multimedia services with cost effective broadband access. Broadband wireless technology will be available in the form of third generation mobile and WLAN after 2002. The application of IP-technology in the ICT industry and in other industry verticals will be the major trend in the near future", says Olli Martikainen, Necsom, Ltd. "VoIP is clearly one of the most-talked-about technologies of 2004, yet nearly all of the adoption and attention right now is in the consumer and SOHO market," said Reservoir Partners’ Founder & Managing Director, Chris Selland. "The adoption of VoIP at an enterprise level has been much slower to occur. We believe that the potential in the Contact Center is high – but VoIP will be deployed very strategically and specifically – to reduce complexity and better integrate with outsourced and mobile resources." "NTi is positioning itself to lead the field in terms of providing the Quality of Service Monitoring and Performance Management tools that are essential in making such transitions to Voice over IP networks feasible along with refocusing our years of experience with enterprise customers in meeting the needs of the middle market", said Bill Williamson. Service Providers can efficiently and cost effectively address the demanding QoS and performance monitoring needs of their midsize customers by adopting the NTi QoS Monitor solution and the low risk, subscription based, cost-per-transaction revenue model. Real-time alerts are proactively generated to service centers and NOCs when QoS and performance anomalies are detected so that critical network uptime can be maintained and service downtimes avoided.
