Zarlink to discuss VoIP quality at conference in California

The conference runs from 10-12 September at the Los Angeles Convention Center in California, and is the world's largest and best-attended IP Communications trade show. Rick Bye, segment marketing manager with Zarlink's Wired Communications product group, will offer his perspective on VoIP quality of experience at the conference.

Zarlink considers that reducing operating costs and improving customer satisfaction are two main goals associated with improving the quality of experience. With the proper diagnostic tools, telecom service providers can implement line testing throughout the network and address both of these issues.

Consumers are placing a higher priority on quality of the experience for VoIP services. Mr. Bye's session entitled "Understanding Quality of Experience" will discuss causes for quality of experience failures, and software and hardware solutions that can more easily diagnose and resolve these problems. The session is scheduled for September 11th from 4:30-5:15 pm.

Rick Bye joined Zarlink as part of its recent acquisition of Legerity. Zarlink's Wired Communications product group has been formed through the merger of the products and expertise of Zarlink's Network Communications group and Legerity. The new product group delivers a range of voice enhancement and timing and synchronisation products for the access, residential and enterprise markets.

At the last ITEXPO, held January 2007 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, the show drew over 7,100 buyers and sellers of IP Communications products and services.
