WildPackets Unveils New Voice Features for OmniPeek

Updates include Avaya-certified voice over IP extensions and additional 802.11n support for VoFi (Voice over Wi-Fi) deployment

WALNUT CREEK, CALIF - November 3, 2009 – WildPackets, Inc. (www.wildpackets.com), a leading provider of network and application performance analysis solutions, today announced the addition of new voice features to its Avaya-compliant, flagship OmniPeek Distributed Analysis Suite. WildPackets will be demonstrating OmniPeek at VoiceCon (Booth 415).

New features include VoIP extensions that have recently been certified as compliant by Avaya as well as additional support for 802.11n networks, both of which make OmniPeek ideal for monitoring and troubleshooting VoFi (voice over Wi-Fi). OmniPeek blends the abilities to monitor and analyze all network traffic with specific analysis of VoIP calls, allowing users to determine when different types of traffic adversely affect each other. OmniPeek is the only network analyzer offering Ethernet, Wireless, 10GbE, Gigabit, WAN, and Voice and Video over IP diagnostics in real-time. "Voice over IP - both wired and wireless - is clearly the right direction for the industry and users alike," said Craig Mathias, a Principal with the advisory firm Farpoint Group (Ashland, MA). "But challenges including jitter, latency, and packet loss can result in poor quality and are often maddeningly difficult to diagnose and repair. That's why it's great to see the latest release of OmniPeek, adding essential monitoring and diagnostic capabilities that will accelerate the adoption of VoIP for any network and in any venue." OmniPeek can monitor and analyze open calls without requiring any expensive voice processing hardware. At a glance, network engineers can see the voice and/or video quality for each stream being transmitted, and can be notified when performance drops below a certain level. "Network administrators often tell us that everyone in their company immediately turns to them if they experience any problems while speaking on the phone," said Tony Barbagallo, VP of Marketing for WildPackets. "The Voice capabilities of OmniPeek Enterprise help those network administrators resolve any problems that may arise quickly and easily."
