Accanto Systems Introduces MSA-QX Protocol Analyzer

Analyzer sets new standard for features, performance and affordability in field-based protocol analysis

HELSINKI, Finland, February 12, 2009 - Accanto Systems (formerly Sunrise Telecom Protocol Products Group), a leader in Customer Service Assurance solutions for today's converged networks, announced today that it has introduced the MSA-QX protocol analyzer, a converged troubleshooting tool that sets new standard for features, performance and affordability in field-based troubleshooting for mobile and wireline networks. 

The MSA-QX is a portable troubleshooting system for converged wireless and wireline networks, providing capabilities for 2G/2.5G/3G mobile, as well as IMS, VoIP and NGN analysis. The analyzer provides the power for virtually any application type, and is deisgned to be affordable for Tier2 and Tier 3 operators as well as operators in emerging countries.

The MSA-QX builds on top of the widely deployed MSA architecture, adding important features such as:

• Rapid Deployment Probe - Can serve as a rapidly deployable field-based probe for the TAMS centralized monitoring system, reducing the operators overall CAPEX requirements 
• Remote Connectivity via WiFi - Can be remotely controlled via a local AD-HOC WiFi connection, making it ideal for hostile environments where it is impracticle to be near the network element(s)
• Powerful Hardware - Adds Xeon Quad Core X3060 2.4GHz CPU, 4GB 667MHz ECC RAM and fast, scalable high-speed Hard Drive architecture

According to Accanto CEO, Michele Campriani “With the increasing sophistication of services offered over converged networks, the need for a more affordable, yet feature-rich troubleshooting system has never been more important. This new paradigm also requires that operators have a customer-eye view of the services themselves in order to ensure high service quality and ultimately reduce customer churn. The MSA’s ability to double as a field-based probe will help operators reach this goal.” For more information on the MSA-QX, please visit us online at www.accantosystems.com
