MetaSwitch test lab

MetaSwitch's extensive system test lab simulates the scale and variety of real-world networks

In an industry beset with defect-ridden products and broken promises, MetaSwitch has established an unrivalled reputation for engineering quality. This is a result of combining some of the world's top engineering talent with rigorous development procedures refined over twenty years of developing complex hardware and software systems.

The underlying philosophy, which applies to project management and engineering processes across the company, is to

  • employ proven effective processes (such as detailed peer review) to minimize the number of defects

  • remove defects as early as possible - addressing issues during the system test phase is much more expensive and potentially destabilizing than identifying them in the design

  • perform detailed upfront reliability modelling and apply advanced software and hardware redundancy techniques to ensure that the combination of the system components meets the required 99.999% availability target.

In addition, our approach system testing and quality assurance is second to none. Our extensive system test lab includes a wide range of both partner equipment and call generators (a combination of "analog line" simulators and custom-built applications which drive the access protocols - such as MGCP, SIP and GR-303 - directly), so every release is fully tested to maximum capacity in a real-world network environment.

The consistent result is exceptionally high-quality, reliable products - backed up by superb support.
