Dialogic Launches a Diameter Router

Dialogic announced recently its "BorderNet™ Diameter Services Helix (DSH), revolutionary in its ability to seamlessly integrate an interworking function (IWF) alongside Diameter traffic routing, mediation and security features in a single software-based solution, eliminating the need to deploy and manage separate platforms. The BorderNet DSH also solves challenges service providers encounter when delivering services across LTE, 3G and wireless networks to offer a consistent end-user experience .. The BorderNet Diameter Services Helix offers service providers a unified platform that integrates the Diameter Routing Agent (DRA), Diameter Edge Agent (DEA) and Diameter Interworking functionality on a standalone platform.

According to Dialogic the new product will be reach general availability later this year. My Diameter router product page (here) was updated to include the new product.

"The BorderNet DSH combines interworking and service orchestration with an advanced Web 2.0 GUI that applies advanced logic to message flows to support services involving multiple protocols like Diameter, MAP, RADIUS, LDAP and HTTP. The extensible multiprotocol architecture of the DSH allows a degree of flexibility that can accommodate new protocols and protocol variants without the need for expensive development or additional hardware".

NI Announcements: Dialogic Measures Perceptual Quality of Mobile Video

      

As video, and especially streaming video, is now the most important mobile application, its quality is certainly an issue - which may reflect on subscriber satisfaction and churn (see "Survey: Subscribers Say that Operators are responsible for Bad Video QoE" - here), and the ability to monetize on it and increase ARPU (for example for OTT video - here).

The first thing is to understand if you have a problem, by measuring, monitoring and reporting performance. We have seen network based products for that (e.g. Sandvine and Bytemobile).

Now, Dialogic is launching a new solution, with a different, client-based approach. The vendor announced the launch of ".. software solution to measure and track the perceptual quality of mobile video. The Dialogic® VisionVideo™ Software Solution enables companies that deliver mobile video services to determine the perceptual quality of experience (QoE) being received by viewers .. the VisionVideo Software Solution measures and reports perceptual mobile video quality as experienced by viewers. VisionVideo provides important information for diagnosing and isolating problems and targeting perceptual quality issues. By delivering a high-quality mobile video QoE, service providers and other companies can help better position themselves to retain customers and build a positive brand image around quality".
