Triple-Play Service Deployment

Chapter 10: Service Assurance for Triple-Play Services
Sustained Viability
Gaining—and sustaining—market viability in the triple-play arena
demands that providers evolve their networks to withstand the
rigors of bandwidth-intensive voice, video, and data service
delivery. While the deployment of broadband access networks
that bring optical fiber near or to the home and in-home
distribution networks are integral to this evolution, just as critical
is service assurance for the applications operating over the
network. Successful triple-play service deployment is possible
only with test strategies that address each aspect of the
infrastructure as well as the customer experience.
