Summary
 |
In Q4 2009, Wainhouse Research (WR) conducted an evaluation of the IPeak IPQ Technology. Specific areas of focus during the evaluation included:
- Solution Packaging / Form Factor
- Ease of Installation / Configuration
- Ease of Use / User Interface
- Compatibility with Leading Videoconferencing Solutions
- System Performance (with varying degrees of packet loss)
- Overall User Experience
To facilitate this effort, IPeak provided WR with two (2) IPQ Network Appliances for use during the evaluation. WR installed the IPeak devices, alongside a number of video endpoints and infrastructure devices, within its Atlanta test lab. WR then conducted two rounds of test calls between the installed systems while inserting increasing levels of packet loss. During the first round of test calls, which WR refers to as the baseline tests, the IPQ technology was disabled. During the second round of calls, the IPQ technology was enabled.

Throughout the testing, WR was impressed by the performance of the IPQ technology. The solution consistently (and automatically) reduced the packet loss received by each video system, in some cases by over 90%. This enabled WR to conduct successful video calls within our test facility at packet loss levels of up to 3%. Based on these findings, WR believes this technology to be well suited for organizations conducting (or looking to conduct) IP videoconferencing sessions over lossy networks – especially those organizations with multi-vendor deployments.
This study, sponsored by IPeak Networks, provides detailed information about the IPQ Technology and the results of this evaluation.
