Anite Finland Ltd offers advanced
and cost-effective solutions for voice,
video streaming, and video call quality
measurements on the air interface of
CDMA/GSM/WCDMA/TD-SCDMA/UMA
networks. Each solution not only provides
you with all the relevant quality metrics,
but also produces a complete set of IP,
network and application level metrics,
ensuring that the reason in the air interface
for less than satisfactory Mean Opinion
Scores (MOS) can always be found.Anite RAPID AND EXTREMELY ACCURATE VOICE
QUALITY ASSESSMENT
Nemo Outdoor™ Voice Quality Solution enables mobile-to-
mobile and mobile-to-fixed up and downlink voice quality
measurements based on PESQ, the ITU P.862.1 compliant
Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality algorithm provided
under license by Psytechnics. PESQ.is an objective, intrusive
(active) testing technique that ensures rapid and extremely
accurate voice quality assessment. Psytechnics is the industry
leading provider of software solutions for assessing and
managing QoE for real-time voice and video. The basic
measurement principle is the transmission of a reference speech
sample through the system to be assessed and the evaluation of
the deteriorated output signal. The estimation of the MOS is
performed by applying a psycho-acoustical model of the human
audio perception both on the received and the reference signal
and comparing the results of the model. The PESQ score is
calculated offline by comparing the original and the degraded
sample files.

Nemo Autonomous™ and Nemo Handy™ Voice Quality Solutions enable mobile-to-mobile and mobile-to-
fixed uplink voice quality measurements based on PESQ and downlink based on Psytechnics’ PSM Mobile
algorithm. PSM Mobile is an objective, non-intrusive (passive) testing technique which correlates very
accurately with PESQ because it utilizes the Psytechnics database of 220,000 subjective votes. PSM Mobile
offers a sophisticated identification system which has been designed to cover a wide variety of speech
distortion and degradation classes, and to predict their impact on the subjective quality of the speech stream
as perceived by human perception. PSM Mobile is a lighter and faster version of ITU P.563, predicting a
Listening Quality MOS in a similar way to P.563.

Fixed-to-mobile, mobile-to-mobile and simultaneous mobile-to-mobile VQ measurements with Nemo Outdoor
Nemo Video Streaming Quality Solution enables the measurement of video streaming quality with Nemo
Outdoor, Nemo Autonomous and Nemo Handy based on Psytechnics’ Video IP Monitor algorithm PVI. PVI is a
non-intrusive, non-reference method for measuring video quality by analyzing the video stream IP packet flow.
The characteristics of the IP stream, such as packet loss and jitter, and the behavior of the jitter buffer and the
error concealment algorithm in the terminal are used to assess the MOS score. Properties of the stream, such as
video format and bandwidth, are also taken into account. IP and network level diagnostics are also recorded to
pinpoint reasons and problems behind the MOS score.

Nemo Video Call Quality Solution enables the assessment of the quality of video calls with Nemo Outdoor
based on VQI, Anite’s Video Quality Index algorithm. VQ is a non-intrusive, proprietary algorithm designed for
measuring the downlink video quality of video telephony calls. It has been designed upon the fact that most of
the video quality degradation is caused by errors in data transmission. VQI is calculated in real-time during
measurement with Nemo Outdoor, and stored into the log file along with standard network parameters and
signaling information. VQ algorithm is based on H.233 metrics, including H.233 Frame Error Rate (FER) and
H.233 frame rate monitored from the 3G-324M protocol stack of the handset. Subjectively graded video
material, collected in extensive test campaigns in various live 3G networks, has been compared to H.233 metrics
to build an algorithm that translates these errors into a video quality index value,
