Business Wire
Symmetricom, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precise
time and frequency technologies that accelerate the deployment and
enable the management of next generation networks, today announced
the debut of its new V-Factor� Q-1200 Headend Analyzer, an
automated, efficient and scalable solution for monitoring video
content in the headend, at TelcoTV 2008 on November 11�13, 2008 in
Orange County, Calif. This is the first, live demonstration of the
Q-1200, which enhances Symmetricom's V-Factor Quality of Experience
(QoE) end-to-end monitoring platform with content validation. The
headend is of particular importance for assuring video quality as
degradations in the headend have the highest potential for
impacting the most number of viewers. �The competition between
telcos, cable and satellite service providers to gain or preserve
market position is driving the need for higher quality content with
better service availability,� commented Gurdip Jande, senior vice
president of marketing for Symmetricom. �By validating content at
the source through analyzing video impairments, the Q-1200 helps
the entire digital video distribution chain manage service quality,
ultimately reducing provider operating costs as well as customer
churn. For content owners and producers, validating content at the
source provides them the ability to enforce quality SLAs and
control their brand.� In addition, TelcoTV will highlight the need
for QoE solutions with a special panel of leading experts,
including Matthieu Chamik, product manager, QoE Solutions at
Symmetricom. The panel is entitled, �Quality of Service: The
Service Provider Trump Card,� and takes place on Thursday, November
13, 2008, 1:00 � 2:00 p.m. PST. These industry leaders will discuss
the importance of service level quality, including service
providers and all players collaborating toward delivering a quality
experience that consumers will appreciate. Symmetricom also
announced today that HP has expanded its integration of Symmetricom
products to the new Q-1200, now being integrated into the HP Next
Generation OSS Service�Assurance platform. A comprehensive business
service and application management solution, BAC monitors the
health of business services and applications from the consumer�s
point of view. The Q-1200 is vital to delivering high quality
video, critical to any successful IP-based video offering. As part
of Symmetricom's V-Factor Quality of Experience (QoE) platform, the
Q-1200: Performs comprehensive audio/video analysis on 100 video
streams simultaneously and content analysis on up to 16
uncompressed video channels Uniquely and accurately identifies

Aids operators in the ability to accurately correlate video quality
impairments with network impairments as results are managed through

sophisticated model of the human vision system specifically
