Brix 4100 Series Verifier - EXFO - #2

Whether deployed in a network where traffic is beginning to build up or in a high-capacity scenario, the Brix System scales with the provider's needs through a highly distributed, multi-tier architecture.

For VoIP service monitoring, the Brix 4100 Verifier family with BrixCall software features listening and conversational MOS and R-factor scores based on the scalable ITU G.107 E-model algorithm. G.107 calculates a MOS of overall call quality on a scale of one (bad) to five (excellent), based on network impairments that would degrade call quality.

For IP video monitoring, BrixVision software leverages the Brix 4100 Verifier family to assess individual audio and video stream quality for service-impacting impairments, yielding MPEG content key performance indicators (KPIs) to produce a Media Delivery Index (MDI)—how well a network can transport good video quality - and Media Quality Index (MQI)—the percentage of renderable video that is directly correlated with the user's QoE.

Using the BrixWorx correlation and analysis engine, service providers establish thresholds for various performance metrics to proactively alert operational staff of voice or video quality degradations or service outages. These thresholds can be standardized network-wide or customized for individual locations, depending on business requirements. Additionally, BrixWorx translates, simplifies, and visualizes large amounts of complex IP service performance data into actionable business intelligence, including take-up, retention, and churn rates.

The Brix 4100 Verifier and Brix 4104™ Verifier are carrier-class appliances that are easily installed in production networks for complete "lights-out" operation, unlike competitive testing tools that were designed for use only in laboratory environments. The Brix 4100 Verifier family also offers both AC and DC power options and multiple test and manage­ment ports for deployment flexibility. The devices can be remotely managed through the Web-based BrixWorx user interface. Administrative communication between the Verifier and server is off-loaded onto an IP-based management network through the dedicated 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet management port. In addition, the Brix 4100 Verifier family supports a complete command line interface, accessible over the network via ssh or telnet.
