Velocent and Ixia to provide advanced 4G LTE monitoring

NAPERVILLE, USA: Velocent Systems and Ixia have announced a partnership that will bring together the companies' technologies to help customers accurately monitor mobile networks of any size.

The combined technologies from Velocent Systems, the pioneer of Customer Experience Assurance (CEA) for Mobile Data and Voice over LTE (VoLTE), and Ixia, a leading provider of network assessment and optimization solutions for enterprises and service providers, capture and analyze network traffic in a scalable solution.

"Through this strategic partnership with Ixia, our customers will have access to utmost scalability and accuracy, features that are becoming ever more critical in today's fast-growing market," said Jagadeesh Dantuluri, VP of Marketing and PLM, Velocent Systems. "The Ixia Net Tool Optimizer (NTO) and GTP Session Controller (GSC) will provide complete network access for OneVu, offering scalability up to 320 Gigabits per second (Gbps)."

The Ixia NTO will passively direct out-of-band network traffic from multiple access points (SPAN ports or TAPs) in the network to Velocent CEA LexaVu monitoring systems for analysis.

Traffic will be aggregated from all needed access points in the network to provide comprehensive visibility. In addition, the Ixia GSC correlates all GTP sessions enabling monitoring solutions to scale more efficiently by offloading the aggregation and correlation of subscriber data from monitoring systems.
