The aim of the collaboration between AVEQ and zafaco is to establish new standards for measuring and optimising video streaming quality for broadband providers.
The algorithms of the AVEQ Surfmeter solution enable a Quality of Experience (QoE) rating for selected international video services such as YouTube, Netflix and TikTok as well as national broadcasting brands such as zattoo or media libraries such as 3sat. This rating is based on a unique and innovative QoE model that is based on ITU-T standards and integrates the latest research results and technologies. This ensures that the video quality is accurately assessed and focusses on the actual user experience.
In addition, AVEQ and zafaco are jointly analysing aspects of the streaming quality of the IPTV platforms of the leading broadband providers in the DACH region. This streaming analysis is integrated into a complex test setup that covers a realistic mix of scenarios from an end-user perspective. In this way, a broad spectrum of video services across Europe is considered and insights into the quality of broadband providers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland are gained.
zafaco's solutions help to optimise networks and improve overall performance by identifying weak points and uncovering bottlenecks.
Not only the speed of Internet access is taken into account, but also a broad spectrum of telecommunications and Internet services including voice telephony, mobile services, video streaming, web hosting, gaming and cloud services.
As every year, detailed comparative measurements and reports are published in the public media. Stay tuned for more news in the course of this year!
