tekVizion Labs Adds IMS Conformance Testing, Other New Services

Firm Heeds Customer Demand as Market Moves Toward IP Multimedia Subsystem Networks

BOSTON (Sept. 12, 2005) – tekVizion™ PVS, Inc., the new standard for systems integration, today announced that tekVizion Labs™ has added IMS conformance testing and other new services in response to growing market demand for capabilities designed to speed deployments and strengthen the reliability of next-generation networks.

Already well known for its VoIP testing expertise, tekVizion Labs now can verify products designed for IMS networks, including testing to IMS specifications, testing interoperability among IMS components, and certification of third-party applications into trusted IMS networks.

IMS holds great promise as a common foundation enabling MVNOs, wireless and wireline network operators to deliver traditional and multimedia services over any access channel using virtually any type of device. However, IMS is still an emerging set of technologies, and there are many different product and architectural options for implementing IMS.

In addition, tekVizion Labs has also added the following to its service offering:

  • PBX-IP/PBX interoperability testing to assure successful interoperability between legacy and VoIP networks and between disparate VoIP systems.
  • Third-party certification/validation testing on behalf of organizations or businesses that already have their own specifications or programs in place, but need implementation support, or need to augment their own resources, in the development and execution of these programs.

“The industry is continuing to forge ahead with the deployment of VoIP, IMS, and other next-generation technologies,” noted Terri Griffin, tekVizion’s COO. “This has created a demand in the industry for testing services to uncover interoperability issues and other potential problems before products are introduced into networks. At tekVizion Labs we have expanded our offering in response to our customers who have been asking for these types of testing services.”

Additional tekVizion Labs services include:

  • tekVizion Interoperability Certification Testing
  • Product/Compliance Assessments
  • Solution Testing
  • Remote Testing
  • Open Testing

Established in March of 2005, tekVizion Labs already has 14 customers and 13 Premier Tenants which are vendors who have designated tekVizion Labs as an authorized testing facility. Premier Tenants’ products remain in the Labs and are available so that other vendors or service providers may remote test or contract with tekVizion Labs to perform product interoperability or solution testing using the Premier Tenant(s)’ products.
