Sevana NIQA in brief.

1. FAST AND EASY –
NO REFERENCE
NEEDED
NIQA makes quality evalu-
ation based on actual
call audio, no reference
required.
RELIABLE
QUALITY SCORING
NIQA MOS scores are of
similar or higher accuracy
than in ITU-T P.563 stan-
dard.
ASSESS VOICE QUALITY
IN REAL TIME BY NIQA
NIQA allows network own-
ers to receive notifications
about voice quality degra-
dation, detect problematic
trunks, destinations and
initiate proactive mainte-
nance.
PROACTIVE APPROACH
NIQA will inform your
maintenance team to take
immediate actions on qual-
ity improvements before
receiving complains from
your valued customers.
NIQA – Non-intrusive Voice Quality Analyzer
Non-intrusive voice quality measurements are pas-
sive methods for measuring voice quality on traffic
generated by existing callers. The measurements
can easily be applied both for packet-switched and
circuit-switched networks.
Non-intrusive testing is a simple and cost effective,
which is not using bandwidth or traffic resources
being fully software based. Non-intrusive methods
that return speech quality score (MOS) are the key
means for measuring actual callers’ traffic.
Sevana NIQA (Non-Intrusive Voice Quality
Analyzer) technology is based on a database of
trained etalon associations. Each association cor-
responds to a group of files that have close expert
estimations of sound quality and common set of
reasons for sound quality degradation.
Sevana NIQA has been tested utilizing the same ITU-T
speech database that is used for conformance testing of
P.563 algorithm.
Atotal of 376 English language recordings passed through
the system during testing phase. All recordings were
sorted into 4 groups depending on their MOS scores
(represented in the documentation attached to the sound
database).
For all groups of recordings we figured out an average
expert score and average NIQAscore. In order to illustrate
comparison with P.563 we also calculated average errors
for P.563 and NIQA scores for the same tests.
Tests clearly show that NIQAallows receiving much higher
accuracy between generated quality scores and expert
estimations.
Growing business cannot afford loosing customers
due to bad quality.
NIQA helps to automatically predict end-user sat-
isfaction. One should be aware that SLA is kept
valid.

● Real-time monitoring
