-- Keynote Recognized Alongside Microsoft's Office Communications Server, Google Talk and Other Leading Technologies -- Keynote Voice Perspective 2.0 Provides Customers with Real-Time Visibility Into True Experience of CallersSAN MATEO, Calif., Dec 20, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Keynote Systems (Nasdaq:KEYN), the global leader in on-demand
mobile and Internet test & measurement solutions for continuously
improving the online experience, today announced the selection of
Keynote's Voice Perspective(R) 2.0 service as one of the Top 25
Innovations of 2007 by VoIP News.
According to VoIP News, "a typical VoIP-quality testing service
might measure the performance of an IP call in terms of jitter,
latency and packet loss, then conclude that voice quality is perfect.
But if the last-mile infrastructure between the customer's premises
and the IP backbone is less than perfect, the network may be doing a
perfect job of delivering hideously distorted sounds encapsulated in
VoIP packets...Keynote Systems Inc.'s (service) measures the quality
of actual calls between apartments in key cities in order to provide
real-world data about which VoIP sounds best."
Voice Perspective 2.0, an on-demand VoIP testing and monitoring
service, helps VoIP-enabled contact centers monitor and assure call
quality in a hybrid network environment where calls typically traverse
both traditional PSTN and packet-switched VoIP networks.
"It is great to see VoIP News recognizing our Voice Perspective
2.0 as an innovative offering, especially as hybrid networks become
more prevalent in the industry," said Rajeev Kutty, Keynote VoIP
product manager. "Our offering provides unrivaled visibility into the
true experience of callers. Operations teams at service providers as
well as contact centers are able to monitor the true quality of voice
service, pure VoIP, Hybrid or PSTN from a wide range of geographic
locations."
Jeff Geiser, global director of VoIP and streaming media at
Keynote, reiterates the comprehensive nature of Keynote's VoIP
service, saying, "Our solution is directly aimed at solving the
challenges faced by VoIP service providers and enterprises that have
implemented VoIP call centers; both need accurate insight into call
quality to assure their customers have a positive experience. With
on-demand, real-time visibility, Voice Perspective offers the valuable
data that expedites issue resolution and overcomes the barriers of
geographic limitations."
