HiQ to test Ascom’s new VoIP WLAN system

Ascom’s new VoIP WLAN system offers wireless IP telephony, message and alarm management over a company’s internal LAN. Ascom has assigned HiQ that task of testing this new and very important system. The assignment includes testing both entire systems and mobile terminals. HiQ is responsible for test management and execution as well as for developing testing methods and processes.

“Most large organisations today have local networks to ensure efficient communication, and the use of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) continues to increase. We offer our customers solutions that also make normal wireless telephony over IP possible within a wireless local network, which means that all internal communication – telephony as well as data – can pass through the same network. In a large organisation our VoIP WLAN system is a very cost-effective alternative to normal fixed or mobile telephony,” says Mats Espling, R & D Manager at Ascom’s Wireless Solutions division. “Our solutions are used in environments such as large industrial companies, hospitals or prisons; environments that require very fast and secure communication. Naturally, it is extremely important for our products to be thoroughly tested before they are delivered to the customer. HiQ helps us to prepare and run tests and to create structured methods for our future testing work, a very important aspect of our operation. We are very satisfied with the cooperation we have with HiQ, continues Espling. “HiQ has worked with communication and mobility for more than ten years and we have a thorough understanding of mobile terminals and complex telecommunication systems. This, in combination with our many years of experience with advanced testing processes, means that we can offer our customers an attractive and customised solution for their business. We are naturally very proud to have this assignment from Ascom Wireless Solutions,” says Lars-Inge Stenberg, Account Manager at HiQ.
