Signals Ahead - Behind The Volte Curtain, Part 3 - Benchmark Study Of Ir.94 And Multiple Over-The-Top (Ott) Video Chat Applications
M2 - Tue Apr 07, 8:36AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lhqf4q/signals_ahead) has announced the addition of the "Signals Ahead - Behind The Volte Curtain, Part 3 Benchmark Study Of Ir.94 And Multiple Over-The-Top(Ott) Video Chat Applications" report to their offering. This report presents the results of an independent analysis of IR.94 and how it compares with multiple OTT video chat applications, including FaceTime, fring, Google Hangout, imo, ooVoo, Skype, Tango, and Viber. We conducted more than 200 tests involving different combinations of voice or video applications, test procedures, and network conditions. Spirent Communications provided its Chromatic test platform for the video performance analysis and its Quantum Battery Life Measurement System to measure the current drain with the voice and video telephony/chat applications that we tested. We used the Accuver XCAL drive test tool and XCAP post-processing software to evaluate the impact these applications had on the network as well as the underlying network conditions during the tests. Unlike VoLTE, the performance benefits of IR.94 are not obvious, especially when compared with Skype and FaceTime. The results also depend a lot on how the operator has implemented IR.94 and the operator has a lot of flexibility in that regard. Based on the KPIs we analyzed in our study, we give Skype the edge over FaceTime, but ironically Skype seemed to perform the best on an iPhone 6 Plus smartphone. LTE is spectrally efficient, but IR.94 consumes a lot of bandwidth, although not nearly as much as some of the OTT video chat applications. An operator will need to balance the use of a guaranteed bit rate (GBR) and QCI=2 with the impact that these IR.94 features will have on its network. IR.94 does differentiate in other ways, for example it is included as part of the native dialer on the phone. Additionally, the voice portion of the IR.94 video call uses QCI=1, thus allowing basic voice communications to continue unscathed even if the video component suffers. There is a tradeoff, however, which we discuss. Unless things change, IR.94 will remain a niche application for the foreseeable future. Operator priorities, no foreseeable support for inter-network calls and roaming, OTT competition, and the lack of support from Apple top our list of reasons. Key Topics Covered: 1.0 Executive Summary 2.0 Key Observations and Conclusions 3.0 Video Delivery Performance and Underlying Network Utilization Requirements 4.0 Network Utilization Requirements - detailed analysis 5.0 Latency Implications with Background Applications 6.0 Current Drain and Estimated Battery Life Implications 7.0 Test Methodology 8.0 Final Thoughts 9.0 Appendix Products Mentioned - FaceTime - Fring - Google Hangout - Imo - OoVoo - Skype - Tango - Viber For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lh...nals_ahead

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ccntgb/test_and) has announced the addition of the "Test and Measurement (T&M) Equipment Market in India 2015-2019" report to their offering. The Test and Measurement Equipment market in India to grow at a CAGR of 13.24 percent over the period 2015-2019. Test and measurement equipment are devices used for testing and measuring various electronic and mechanical products throughout their lifecycle. These devices are used in the initial design, development, verification, maintenance, and repair of various electronic and mechanical products. Test and measurement equipment are used for testing and measuring in electronic devices such as cellphones, digital cameras, MP3 players, and solar inverters. One key trend in the market is the need for compatibility of test equipment. The need for compatibility of test equipment is the main focus of T&M equipment vendors when developing new products. The continuously evolving technology has made the product lifecycle of T&M equipment short, thereby requiring new T&M equipment to test new technology. This has created a need for T&M vendors to develop new equipment capable of testing new technologies and also compatible with old technologies. According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the increase in R&D investment. Advantages such as high growth potential and relatively low manufacturing costs help to bring more technological innovations through continuous R&D. Further, the report states that one of the key challenges that the market faces is price sensitivity of consumers buying T&M equipment. Customers in the market are very price conscious and tend to purchase low-priced T&M equipment at the expense of quality and added features.

Behind the VoLTE Curtai: Analysis of Four Smartphones / VoLTE Clients Using T-Mobile's LTE network in Southern California - Apple, LG, Samsung & Sony
M2 - Thu Jan 22, 8:42AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pkbm9t/behind_the_volte) has announced the addition of the "Behind the VoLTE Curtain, Part 2" report to their offering. KEY HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS STUDY This report presents the results of an analysis of four smartphones / VoLTE clients using T-Mobile's LTE network in Southern California. The smartphone tested are the Apple iPhone, the LG G Flex, the Samsung Galaxy Light, and the Sony Xperia Z3. Authors' view: We did this study in collaboration with Spirent Communications, who provided us with its test equipment and engineering support to collect much of the data. In addition to gaining some insight into how VoLTE compares with HD-Voice on a 3G network and how the 23.85 kbps voice codec compares with the more widely used 12.65 kbps voice codec, we also identified the performance differences between the four smartphones / VoLTE clients that we tested. Although we didn't identify any meaningful differences when it came to the perceived voice quality (MOS) we did observe differences when it came to the impact on the current drain and estimated battery life. For example, only one smartphone achieved a longer battery life with VoLTE than with 3G CS voice. Two smartphones came relatively close to achieving this important threshold and one smartphone had a significant performance disadvantage with VoLTE compared with 3G CS voice. We were only able to obtain chipset diagnostic information for two of the smartphones so we also relied on results taken last summer when we tested AT&T's VoLTE implementation. In this category the two smartphones preformed largely on par with each other - not surprising given that they both use the Qualcomm chipset. Both smartphones also had much better KPIs than what we observed last summer. Various factors could explain this phenomenon, but in any event the trend is positive for VoLTE. Lastly, we included FaceTime and Viber, along with Skype, to see how the OTT voice applications compared with VoLTE. Consistent with our results from last summer, we observed that these applications can deliver a great voice call - in some cases outperforming VoLTE. However, they do quite poorly with network loading while the cost impact in terms of the shortened battery life and the higher network resource requirements cannot be ignored. Key Topics Covered: 1.0 Executive Summary 2.0 Key Observations and Conclusions 3.0 Voice Call Quality Analysis 4.0 Network Resource Analysis 5.0 Battery Life, Current Drain and Power Consumption Analysis 6.0 Test Methodology 7.0 Final Thoughts 8.0 Appendix For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pk..._the_volte

This report presents the results of an independent analysis of IR.94 and how it compares with multiple OTT video chat applications, including FaceTime, fring, Google Hangout, imo, ooVoo, Skype, Tango, and Viber. We conducted more than 200 tests involving different combinations of voice or video applications, test procedures, and network conditions. Spirent Communications provided its Chromatic test platform for the video performance analysis and its Quantum Battery Life Measurement System to measure the current drain with the voice and video telephony/chat applications that we tested. We used the Accuver XCAL drive test tool and XCAP post-processing software to evaluate the impact these applications had on the network as well as the underlying network conditions during the tests.

The results also depend a lot on how the operator has implemented IR.94 and the operator has a lot of flexibility in that regard. Based on the KPIs we analyzed in our study, we give Skype the edge over FaceTime, but ironically Skype seemed to perform the best on an iPhone 6 Plus smartphone. LTE is spectrally efficient, but IR.94 consumes a lot of bandwidth, although not nearly as much as some of the OTT video chat applications. An operator will need to balance the use of a guaranteed bit rate (GBR) and QCI=2 with the impact that these IR.94 features will have on its network. IR.94 does differentiate in other ways, for example it is included as part of the native dialer on the phone.
