Sentry is Awarded Best Test, Measurement and Monitoring Solution
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Mixed Signals, the leading provider of digital content monitoring solutions,
announced today that Network Products Guide, the industry`s leading publication
on information technologies and solutions, has named Mixed Signals` Sentry as
the winner of the 2009 Product Innovation Award for the best test, measurement
and monitoring solution. This annually venerated award recognizes and honors
vendors from all over the world with innovative and ground-breaking products
that are bringing essential and incremental changes while setting the bar higher
for others in all areas of information technology. 

"Innovation is clearly an important factor to greater success and has the most
impact on staying competitive," says Rake Narang, editor-in-chief of Network
Products Guide. "We chose Mixed Signals` Sentry as the best test, measurement
and monitoring solution because it enables video service providers to quickly
identify and diagnose the most complex visual and audio problems that can ruin
consumers` TV experience. Such errors are increasingly common as service
providers` networks become more complex in order to deliver more HDTV,
video-on-demand (VOD) and other advanced video services." 

Sentry is a comprehensive content monitoring solution for cable, telecom, IPTV
and other video service providers. Sentry enables the early detection, diagnosis
and repair of video and audio errors (i.e., video freeze, macro-blocking, loss
of audio, etc.) whenever or wherever they occur in the network, so service
providers can deliver services with excellent quality, thus ensuring an optimal
quality of experience (QoE) for subscribers. Sentry accomplishes this through
its unique combination of unprecedented visibility into network anomalies at the
IP and MPEG layers, scalability to monitor every program in the network, and its
real-time, 24/7 operation. Sentry is proven in deployments with service
providers worldwide, including eight of the top 10 U.S. cable operators. 

"This Network Products Guide`s award acknowledges our continued success in
keeping our advanced monitoring solution ahead of the technology curve," said
Eric Conley, CEO of Mixed Signals. "We have tremendous expertise in digital
video and are always adding new capabilities to Sentry to ensure it remains the
best video monitoring product in the world."
