PESQ Testing
Introduction
Located in a central location, the VeEX PESQ server allows technicians using the VePal 100+ or 300 series field test set to establish a VoIP or ISDN connection and measure end to end voice quality.
VeEX’s PESQ Server brings the power of ITU-T P.862 PESQ algorithm to live network field testing. VeEX’s PESQ Server accepts up to 50 simultaneous connections from compatible VeEX VePAL 300 or 100+ series products.
Server software allows the user to assess voice quality measurements under live network conditions measuring impact from distortions from all sources: voice codecs, packet loss, latency, jitter, bandwidth congestion.
Bi-directional PESQ MOS (Mean Opinion Score) and other critical network related parameters are measured in under a minute. Test results are displayed on both field test units and the PESQ Server software, and can be saved and retrieved for future reference and benchmarking.

Quality measured during PESQ is indicated by a “flag“:
-
Red: 0-2.33
-
Yellow:2.33-3.66
-
Green:3.66-4.50
A detailed connection report is also generated:
Voice Quality Trend Analysis:
Post processing tools allow trending analysis over time.
Procedure:
Place VoIP to PESQ Server.
Upstream, Roundtrip and Average voice quality measurement is displayed.
