Hammer G5™
Advanced multi-media IP network test platform
The Hammer G5 is an extremely flexible and scalable, multiprotocol and multi-media IP test platform used to verify the functionality, reliability and quality of core IP network communication devices, applications and services in isolation, in combination or with background load. The Hammer G5 verifies that these products and voice applications perform precisely as designed with advanced capabilities for IP load testing, VoIP and IMS testing, signaling and media functionality, real world test scenarios and the ability to emulate realistic user behavior.
Target test applications include:- IVR, voicemail, conference bridge, automated attendant, and unified messaging systems
- Application, feature, and media servers
- Class 5 features and other enhanced services
- Carrier class gateways and controllers
- IMS functions and interfaces
- IP Centrex and IP PBXs
Deployed in development, quality assurance, and proof of concept labs for isolation, regression and interoperability testing; as well as in trial and field networks for vendor, configuration and technology verification, the Hammer G5 provides service quality assurance throughout the technology lifecycle – thereby helping you save on your test investment and improving your time to market.
The Hammer G5 provides the following capabilities:- Flexibility - Graphically develop simple call flow scenarios or easily modify signaling messages and protocol behavior for even the most complex call scenarios
- Scalability - Scales from a single developer's solution with a few end points and expands up to hundreds of thousands of calls, as required, throughout the test lifecycle
- Multi-protocol – Capable of running multiple protocols simultaneously using the same tests and scripts, including: SIP, MGCP, NCS, H.248/Megaco, H.323, QSIG, Skinny and Unistim
- Multi-media - Supports many different narrowband and wideband codecs for wireline and wireless, as well as various real media types such as tones, DTMF, voice, fax, and video
- Integrated - Feature, , IP load testing, voice quality, signaling, and media are all in one platform controlled by a common user interface
