Bulk Call Testing Underway in Lab

The Sangoma SMG is undergoing bulk call generation testing in the lab. This battery of tests allows measurement of capacity, system load, endurance, accuracy, and reliability. In the past week since starting to use this test system, the problem find/fix rate has increased significantly. Also noticable is the elevated confidence felt by system designers and testers.

The bulk call tester was conceived and built in-house. It already has the ability to test Release 2 SMG systems having multiple networked call processing nodes. The system is easy to use and can be controlled remotely so that a geographically diverse development team can all control the test system as though they were in the same room with it.

Nanad Corbic, Chief Software Manager of Sangoma Technologies, Inc. says, "With the bulk call tester we expect to test SMG configurations handling 3000 or more circuits at very high levels of utilization. Already we see demand for SMG systems of this size."
