UNDERSTAND THE NETWORK IMPACT

Modality Systems Impact Assessment tests your network with real Skype calls, and produces clear actionable reports on actual performance. Why is this important? Because voice and video are sensitive to network quality and a bad performing network will impact end user experience.

By identifying and addressing areas of concern, you can power through the bottlenecks to achieve the very best audio, video and conferencing experience ahead of your Skype for Business and Teams roll-out.

Because you only get one chance to make a brilliant

first impression.

REAL SKYPE CALL TESTING

Impact Assessment is a time limited, non-intrusive service utilising Modality Systems Test Nodes to make repeated, real Skype for Business calls on the network to monitor and measure call performance.

It can be used for wired and wireless networks, testing the calls across the internal network, edge services and the internet – monitoring packet loss, latency, jitter, networked media open specifications and more.

COMPATIBILITY• Modality Systems Test Nodes make node to node calls, so they do not require any specific version of Skype for

Business or Teams. They will work with both Server or Office 365.

IMPACT ASSESSMENT OPTIONS

CONNECTIVITYImpact Assessment Connectivity is a mesh of Skype calls between all nodes, checking that the traffic routes correctly throughout your sites. This will pick up issues with routing, firewalls, ports and proxies blocking traffic or causing issues.

LOAD TESTThe Impact Assessment Load Test replicates the projected ‘real world’ traffic levels expected in your live production environment. It takes into account the number of users on a site and sends calls over the network to reflect the expected load. As well as testing jitter, latency and bandwidth, the load test also assesses the throughput of traffic through firewalls and routers to ensure they are performing at the optimum level to support voice and video traffic.
