Agilent Technologies Introduces HP accessATM/IP Network Monitoring System

Strategic Insights -

Agilent Technologies has introduced the HP accessATM/IP Network Monitoring system to help telecommunication network operators accelerate the deployment and management of next-generation hybrid networks. The system is designed to help network operations, network engineering and network planning groups deploy and maintain packet voice gateways connected to the existing Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). This new system will reduce the time it takes to deploy new network elements and services, ensure that problems are resolved as quickly as possible, and reduce ongoing maintenance costs associated with implementing and managing new technologies.

Key Takeaways:

  • The HP accessATM/IP Network Monitoring system is designed to help network operators accelerate the deployment and management of next-generation hybrid networks.
  • The system will enable operations technicians and engineering experts to perform detailed analysis and investigation of network performance in real-time.
  • The system will reduce the time needed to find and resolve network problems, and will reduce the number of resources needed to resolve problems.
  • The system will help reduce ongoing maintenance costs associated with implementing and managing new technologies.
  • Agilent Technologies will offer a broad range of HP and third-party applications on the platform to help network operators reduce operational costs and open up new revenue-generating opportunities.
  • Notable speakers include Joe Luby, Ameritech's general manager for Network Reliability and Security, and Andy Belcher, general manager of Agilent's Telecommunications Systems Division.

Statistics:

  • Agilent Technologies has 43,000 employees serving customers in more than 100 countries.
  • The company had net revenues of nearly $8 billion in fiscal year 1998.
  • The HP accessATM/IP system is available now, with pricing varying depending on individual customer requirements and configurations.
