Tolerance levels in IP video services are minimal compared to VoIP services, in which the conversation can be continued even if a few packets are lost. Thus, it becomes essential to have effective monitoring and troubleshooting tools when networks are deployed in the present market scenario, increasing the demand for suitable test equipment.
The emphasis on quality is higher in the IP video and TV market than in the VoIP market. This poses a significant challenge to test equipment providers catering to this market. The capital costs of the test equipment used for IPTV and video are very high, running into billions of dollars.
