As major service providers worldwide deploy Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH)/Passive Optical Networks (PONs) to provide Ethernet-based broadband access, Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) that perform well in a carrier environment are essential. This webinar presents a detailed examination of the requirements of CPE to fully support video, audio and data services in the era of gigabit PON access.

This webinar provides an overview of factors affecting voice quality, voice quality metrics and characterization methodologies in the context of VoIP networks. Includes coverage of common subjective (ACR MOS), objective tests (PSQM/PSQM+, PAMS and PESQ), ITU E-model and real-world measurement results. Culminates in discussion of VoIP terminal design for optimal voice quality.

This webinar will introduce VoIP CPE equipment, gateways & Softswitches, describe key protocols such as SIP, H.323, H.248/MEGACO, RTP & RTCP and discuss encoding and compression methods
