Azimuth Systems Honored with VON Magazine Innovators Award
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VON Magazine Recognizes the Need for
Carrier-Grade Wi-Fi Testing of Converged Handsets by Naming Azimuth
to the 2008 Innovator Awards ListingACTON, MA – March 10,
2008 – Azimuth Systems, a leading provider of wireless engineering
test equipment, today announced that it has received a 2008 VON Magazine
Innovator Award, which is the foremost listing of innovative companies
that represent the future of the VoIP Communications industry. Azimuth
has been named to the list as a result of their focus on streamlining
the testing of fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) products for service providers,
handset manufacturers and semiconductor vendors looking to prove that
their solutions deliver the carrier-grade Wi-Fi quality-of-service required
to drive rapid adoption of converged voice and data services.
Successful delivery of converged services is based on an assumption
that wireless IP networks and devices can deliver carrier-grade QoS
to the customer, requiring extensive performance benchmarking of mobile
handsets and infrastructure devices in real world conditions. The Azimuth
FMC Performance Test Suite is the industry’s first fixed-mobile convergence
performance test solution, which includes a comprehensive suite of automated
test scripts that streamline the testing of fixed-mobile convergence
products and validate the seamless mobility of devices and networks.
The Azimuth FMC Performance Test Suite provides a full range of unique
and repeatable performance tests on converged Wi-Fi/cellular handsets
over a broad range of real-world environment dynamics and measures Wi-Fi
performance in the areas that get the most attention from end-users:
dropped calls, battery life and call quality.
“We’re pleased
to recognize Azimuth as one of the Communications industry’s best and
brightest by honoring the company with the VON Magazine Innovator Award,”
said Bill Sell, publisher, VON Media Group. “The company’s unique approach
to testing emerging wireless technologies makes it a logical selection
as a leader in the testing of FMC products. Their approach sets Azimuth
apart from the large field of companies that participated in the nomination
process.”
“The VON Magazine Innovator Award further validates
Azimuth’s position as the premier provider of test solutions for wireless
devices and networks in the Wi-Fi, WiMAX and cellular markets,” said
Graham Celine, senior director of marketing at Azimuth Systems. “By
allowing vendors and service providers to comprehensively test their
FMC products and services in a lab before deploying or field testing,
Azimuth’s FMC Performance Test Suite enables testing that was previously
difficult or impossible, saving days of expensive and manual testing
in the field.”
