Standards compliant addition to Monitor Master, helps carriers adapt to new technology faster

Surrey UK, January 2008 – Argogroup, a leader in user experience optimization for converged mobile services, has announced the support of UMA to its Monitor Master platform.

UMA offers mobile operators an alternative way to connect to their network over IP. By seamlessly transferring calls and connectivity between traditional circuit based networks and 802.11 networks, operators increase coverage at low cost providing a better service to their customers.

Using Monitor Master’s award winning technology, complex test scenarios (based on the 3GPP UMA standard) can now be easily implemented to measure the success and quality of calls between one network and another. Over time, the availability of the service can be monitored and if a fault is detected, the underlying diagnostic detail provided can help speed up the diagnosis and resolution of issues. » read more »
