NAPERVILLE, Ill – Tekno Telecom, a leader in SS7, IMS and LTE network monitoring and service assurance, announced today that STRATA Networks has selected the NetQuest Monitoring System, Sonus’ Diameter Signaling Controller (DSC) 8000 and Sonus’ Integrated Monitoring Feed feature for its nationwide voice and wireless network. This joint solution provides STRATA with increased network visibility and troubleshooting capabilities.

“The unique capability of this solution is its ability to provide accurate real-time monitoring data for SS7 and Diameter networks directly from the Sonus DSC 8000 without having to deal with complex and costly DACs, packet brokers, network taps, and span ports,” stated Sam Galler, vice president, Sales, Tekno Telecom.

The joint solution benefits customers due to its ability to detect and prevent potential issues before they impact the end-user. Additionally, this solution is less expensive than other traditional deployment options and simplifies the connectivity to the signaling links by removing media tapping hardware.

We feel that utilizing the Sonus and Tekno solution helps us reach that mission.
