Effectively Testing, Deploying and Managing Triple Play Networks
IPTV offers
unique service differentiation to fixed and mobile carriers alike.
Some analysts are projecting growth from 3.7 million subscribers in
2005 to 36.9 million in 2009, with revenue growth from $880 million
to $9.9 billion in 2005-2009 (source: MRG, Inc.)
Delivering IPTV services is not without it’s challenges. IPTV
requires bandwidth. Without sufficient bandwidth, video may appear “bursty”.
In addition to bandwidth considerations, IP applications are subject
to jitter, delay and packet loss. In IPTV, jitter can lead to buffer
underflows and overflows at the receiving set-top box which can
result in poor signal quality. Delay can cause slow reaction times
to occur at the remote control, which may frustrate the end-user.
And packet loss, which tends to have the greatest impact on the
quality of received video, will generally lead to highly visible
blocking errors and reduced customer satisfaction.
So what’s the solution? How do network operators ensure that
their IPTV services are being delivered at a quality level that is
acceptable to the end-user?
