IneoQuest's IQPinPoint First Solution to Deliver Quality and Service Assurance for Switched Digital Video Networks

ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwire - June 18, 2007) - Cable-Tec Expo 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 that the company's multi-award winning IQPinPoint™ solution is first in the industry to support the end-to-end testing, monitoring, troubleshooting and reporting of Switched Digital Video (SDV) networks. SDV is an attractive new technology for network operators, enabling them to optimize RF bandwidth and deliver critical new services in a highly competitive market.

About Switched Digital Video

SDV is a technology that enables increased efficiency of network bandwidth for service providers. Studies show that 80 percent of video subscribers watch the same 20 percent of programming channels. In the traditional video delivery model, all channel streams are delivered to the end user's set-top box, regardless of whether they are being watched, resulting in wasted bandwidth along the last mile of the network.

In a network leveraging SDV, only the requested content is sent to the viewer's home, rather than hundreds of streams of unwatched channels. That increased RF bandwidth efficiency enables the network operator to provide more services, including more Video On Demand (VOD) channels, more HDTV channels, increased channel capacity and improved viewer experience. Industry experts have forecasted that the top cable operators, telco providers and manufacturers of IP video are already investing millions of dollars in the testing and beta deployment stages of SDV services.

IQPinPoint™ Supports SDV from the Test Lab to Deployment

In addition to analyzing and monitoring the SDV network, service providers need the ability to test the network's various components prior to deployment. This pre-deployment testing capability ensures that requested channels will be delivered to the appropriate end users in real-time while guaranteeing that operations such as changing the channel, recording programming or using Video On Demand remain seamless.

IneoQuest's IQPinPoint, comprised of the powerful Singulus™ Lite Cricket family of network probes and the award-winning IP Video Management System (iVMS), is the only quality and service assurance system with the purpose-built capability to provide continuous testing, monitoring, reporting and troubleshooting for providers using SDV technology -- from the test lab to the last mile.

"Our mission at IneoQuest has always been to help service providers lower their OPEX with the most cutting-edge technology available, and that holds true with SDV as well," said Gino Dion, vice president of business development for IneoQuest. "With the top ten MSOs already initiating some early-stage testing and deployment of SDV technology, we felt it was important to offer them a vendor-agnostic, open solution that provides SDV-centric testing, reporting and trending tools necessary to effectively deploy and manage their SDV networks."

Marc Todd, CEO of IneoQuest, will announce the company's breakthrough SDV Quality Assurance solution at a joint press/analyst/customer conference at this week's Cable-Tec Expo 2007. Conference specifics are as follows:

Date: Wednesday, June 20th, 2007.
