ETSI VoIP SQTE's: 4th Test Event Successfully Completed, 5th Event in Preparation
In cooperation with ETSI PlugtestsT (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) HEAD acoustics carried out the VoIP Speech Quality Test Event (SQTE) for the fourth time. The "4th SQTE 2006" continued the success story of the previous events and was again considered as very useful by the participants (leading manufacturers of IP gateways and IP phones): a 100% response rate from the feedback forms led to an average score of 4.7 out of 5.

Compared to earlier SQTEs the test program was further improved and extended. The 4th SQTE stretched over a period of several months to accommodate for the individual time schedule requirements of the participants and to offer them best possible service and personal advice.
Thanks to the consulting support given by HEAD acoustics voice quality experts during the tests, culminating in detailed individual test reports, the SQTE participants got important hints on optimization possibilities for their own products. At the same time the anonymous report on all tested products provided them with a helpful benchmark comparison with their competitors.
The knowledge the participants gained during the SQTEs leads to significant competitive advantages due to superior voice quality. The participants with the best test results amply use their results to reinforce their sales pitch. The test methods used by HEAD acoustics during the SQTEs are now referenced by the new ETSI standard TR 102 648-1.
