What's the cost of moving production traffic to a trunk that doesn't perform?
A new provider proposes a trunk. The pricing looks good. But does it actually deliver the quality they promise at the capacity you need for audio and video? You won't know until you test it — and testing in production means your customers find the problems first. CallMeter lets you qualify trunks before a single production call touches them.
What CallMeter Delivers
Pre-Production Trunk Testing
Test new trunks from your infrastructure at contracted capacity before connecting production traffic. Verify voice and video quality under real load.
Quality Baseline Capture
Establish a quality baseline before going live. Compare future measurements against it to detect degradation early.
Ongoing Probe Monitoring
After qualifying a trunk, set up continuous probes to verify quality stays at baseline levels over time. Catch degradation before it impacts customers.
Qualify New Trunks Before Production: A Deep Dive
The Problem
New trunks look good on paper — competitive pricing, promised quality metrics. But paper doesn't carry production traffic. Moving customers to an unverified trunk risks quality incidents, and rolling back is painful and visible.
How CallMeter Solves It
Before connecting production traffic, run CallMeter against the new trunk at your contracted capacity. Verify that voice and video quality meets the provider's claims under real load. Capture a baseline for future comparison. Then set up probes for ongoing verification.
What You Get
Pre-production trunk qualification with measured quality data. A baseline to detect future degradation. Continuous probes that alert you if quality drifts. Negotiation leverage if the trunk doesn't meet claims.
How It Works, Step by Step
Provision
Provider delivers the new trunk for testing.
Test
Run CallMeter at contracted capacity to measure voice and video quality.
Evaluate
Compare measured quality against provider claims and your thresholds.
Decide
Go live with confidence, negotiate better terms, or reject.
Before vs. After CallMeter
| Metric | Without CallMeter | With CallMeter |
|---|---|---|
| Trunk validation | After production traffic is live | Before first production call |
| Quality verification | Provider's word | Measured under contracted load |
| Negotiation position | No data | Test results as leverage |
Key Metrics You Get
Without CallMeter
Production traffic discovers trunk problems
With CallMeter
Trunk qualified before a single production call
