QoE monitoring across networks

Consul™ aggregates reports and trending data from multiple Medius units and offers video service providers an effective way of utilizing monitoring data in large-scale monitoring deployments.

Consul can be used by service providers to gain a quick understanding of the quality of experience they are providing on a local, regional, or national level. Key features of Consul include a program alert dashboard that gives a single consolidated view of all programs monitored across all Medius units. The dashboard quickly alerts service providers to issues occurring across the network. In addition, Consul provides an understanding of the video quality degradation from location to location and identifying the top offending programs at each location.

Capturing detailed QoE (Quality of Experience) information is a function of the Consul advanced reporting package. The reporting capabilities allow each user (i.e., a national NOC/operation center) to generate customized reports that provide as much or as focused detail as required, from monthly high-level reports for executive staff to immediate notices for technicians as incidents occur.

Users can create a schedule template so that reports can be generated automatically and e-mailed to designated recipients. Examples of the reports include alert counts by location, trending reports, and distributions by alert type.

Consul is typically located at a regional or national Network Operation Center (NOC) and provides an ideal solution for correlating and managing data from Medius units located throughout the network.
