NetClaw, Anritsu's latest and most powerful network and service performance analyser, is now available for rent or lease purchase through Electro Rent Europe.

NetClaw, Anritsu's latest, most powerful network and service performance analyser, is now available for rent or lease purchase through Electro Rent Europe.

Designed with advanced applications in mind, for service testing, network monitoring and data acquisition, for both current and emerging communications networks, this highly reliable and scalable instrument suits both central and remote operation.

With Voice over IP (VoIP) fast emerging as the next "must have" feature for deployment in communications networks, serving a wide range of applications, the need to provision, optimise, troubleshoot and maintain these services is essential for both users and service providers.

Support for existing protocols, provided on a modular basis, includes GSM, GPRS/Edge and UMTS.

Furthermore, the NetClaw has the capability to handle VoIP and SS7 over IP.

Its modular construction means that the NetClaw is easily upgraded to support new protocols as well as upcoming fixed/mobile convergence concepts, just as soon as they are required.

Importantly, the instrument tests the interoperability of these different technologies.

Its comprehensive client-server architecture allow up to eight users to work on the same network data at the same time, either centrally or remotely.

The instrument is easy to use with a graphical user interface and straightforward intuitive operation.

The combined abilities to optimise, troubleshoot and monitor complex communications networks enables service providers to identify and fix problems swiftly, and often, to avoid them in the first place.

Sophisticated alarms and flags alert the operator through on screen messages or emails.

Quality of Service (QoS) is one of the most critical factors for network operators today, and the NetClaw VoIP QoS Monitor feature is essential for ensuring high voice quality, as perceived by the customer.

It supports voice-quality analysis of MOS (mean opinion score) and monitors jitter, delay and echo and packet loss.

The powerful sequence recogniser provides fast and easy tracking of calls, events and sessions, identifying hotspots and reducing troubleshooting time dramatically.

Its cross-domain analysis, supporting both VoIP and SS7 allows complex interaction problems to be traced, for fast resolution of customer support queries.

The network statistics package allows service providers to identify historical and real time trends, assess network resource optimisation and set triggers for alarms.

The option to lease this advanced equipment from Electro Rent, is a particularly cost-effective solution for service providers who might initially need multiple instruments for installation, provisioning and optimising.

Once established, fewer analysers may be required for ongoing troubleshooting and monitoring.

Electro Rent offers a range of cost effective rent, lease and purchase options operating over short terms from 7 days to 12 months or medium to long term 12 to 36 month lease contracts.

A significant advantage for rent or lease customers of this modular equipment, is that additional options and upgrades can be installed for set periods without committing to the expense of purchasing them.

The rent option is also suitable for short-term requirements, for trials or replacing existing equipment.

It is also ideal for fulfilling new or unexpected test equipment needs between capital expenditure cycles.

Rental or leasing contracts can ensure that engineers are equipped with the latest technology and the risk of early obsolescence is reduced significantly.

Electro Rent has the Anritsu NetClaw network analyser available from stock.
