MANSFIELD, MA--(Marketwire - June 20, 2007) - IneoQuest Technologies, Inc., the leader in
Multi-Dimensional Video Quality Management Systems and global provider of
advanced quality and service assurance solutions for IP Video, today
announced a dramatic price breakthrough for last-mile deployments. Based on
customer-driven requirements, IneoQuest has created an exciting new pricing
structure that enables the wide-scale deployment of its popular QAM and ASI
Cricket probes, for sub-$1000 per unit when ordered in volumes.
Since its recent launch, IneoQuest's award-winning IQPinPoint™ solution
has gained significant traction with MSOs, and the company has numerous
deployments and trials currently underway. While its unique,
multi-dimensional approach has been validated by a global customer base
that is over 300 strong, the ability to deliver QAM and ASI intelligent
Cricket probes -- key hardware components in the IQPinPoint™ solution --
throughout the entire video network, including headend, service areas and
customer premise has been difficult to achieve due to the cost-per-unit
pricing structure.
IneoQuest's unprecedented new pricing structure will enable MSOs to
affordably manage their distributed video system from headend to last mile,
using IQPinPoint with broad deployments of the Cricket to monitor,
analyze, fault isolate and troubleshoot -- all at a savings of up to 80
percent per unit over list price.
"For the cost of one traditional MPEG analyzer monitoring a single service
group, an MSO can now monitor 50 or more service groups with even greater
functionality," explained Marc Todd, chief executive officer of IneoQuest.
"Accessing QAM and ASI Crickets remotely to monitor, fault isolate, and
troubleshoot will save time and money versus rolling a truck with an
antiquated MPEG analyzer."
The pricing structure is also beneficial for existing IneoQuest customers
planning to implement Switched Digital Video (SDV) capabilities. The
increased complexity of the SDV network architecture becomes much more
manageable when additional Cricket devices are deployed to manage traffic
at the edge of the network, between the QAM and the set-top box. "MSOs
seeking to implement an SDV network will benefit from a higher volume of
Cricket devices for the network edge, to ensure quality of transmission,"
said Calvin Harrison, vice president of marketing for IneoQuest. "With this
volume pricing program in place, the cost of adding multiple Crickets to
monitor every SDV Edge is no longer a barrier."
