Spirent Communications today announced that Carrius Technologies Inc. has selected the Abacus 5000 IP Telephony Test System for engineering and production testing of its Compleat-200 intelligent IP gateway. Carrius Technologies is a manufacturer of intelligent gateways for Internet Protocol (IP) telephone network interconnection.
Using its own Web-enabled test automation software, Carrius has created more than 2,000 automated testing scripts covering the full range of VoIP and other protocols encountered by its customers in deployment environments. With Spirent's Abacus 5000, Carrius can perform around-the-clock automated regression testing for thousands of simultaneous tests.

"Spirent's Abacus 5000 has provided us with unmatched scale to quicken our aggressive testing schedule," said Terry Caterisano, director of network interoperability for Carrius Technologies. "The extensive features and protocol support perfectly complement the internal test automation regime we believe sets us apart in the industry."

Carrius is also using the Abacus 5000 to pretest each customer's unique environment and to then demonstrate results in personalized on-site customer presentations.

Spirent's Abacus 5000 can test and analyze unique scenarios through its support of interworking among TDM protocols (C7/SS7, CAS, ISDN, TR-008, GR-303) and VoIP protocols (SIP, SIP-T, H.323, MGCP, Megaco) and it can test all the protocols at carrier-scale traffic volumes, the company said. Each Abacus IP card accommodates up to 4,096 signaling end points and 1,024 media end points.
