Each Brix Verifier independently monitors the bearer and/or signaling channels of the service for central correlation and analysis by BrixWorx. The result is a systemthat provides unprecedented visibility into the customer’s QoE. Each call is correlated toa single Call Quality Record (CQR) and video metrics are available on a per-channel and per-location basis.
