CT505-100
LANforge-FIRE VoIP Call Generator
The CT505-100 is a powerful system for testing whether or not an existing infrastructure can handle increase VoIP call load, and can also be used to test SIP gateways and other infrastructure. The PESQ automated quality scoring module is included.
The CT505-100 1U rackmount chassis fits into a standard rack and is about 14 inches deep. The rackmount chassis fans are noisy, so it is better suited for deployment in a data center than a desktop environment. Other form factors better suited for traveling or desktop use are also available. This system includes the Armageddon feature at no additional charge.
