Need to extend the capabilities of your Orion deployment to VoIP traffic?

Did You Hear?
Orion VoIP Monitor Ensures Every Word is Crystal Clear

Need to extend the capabilities of your Orion deployment to VoIP traffic? We've got great news. Our newest product, Orion VoIP Monitor - scheduled for release at the end of this month - enables you to proactively analyze VoIP quality across Wide Area Networks (WANs), where it matters most. Plus, Orion VoIP Monitor is fully integrated with Orion to provide comprehensive visibility not only into VoIP quality, but also the underlying systems and protocols on the network that the VoIP environment relies upon.

Using a simulation-based approach that leverages Cisco® IP SLA, Orion VoIP Monitor alerts you to problems and enables you to fix them before an end user ever has to say "Can you hear me now?"

Orion VoIP Monitor's capabilities will be music to your ears, such as:

  • Collecting and analyzing VoIP performance statistics, including MOS, jitter, network latency, packet loss, and other important QoS metrics
  • Facilitating capacity planning for existing multi-vendor VoIP deployments and measuring voice quality in advance of new VoIP deployments
  • Automatically configuring IP SLA on Cisco routers without you having to lift a finger
