QoEmonT®

The convergence of multimedia services with mobile/fixed networks and broadcast-interactive applications is creating new demands for high quality and user-responsive service provision management. Above all, video APIs, may they be for high-speed brodband fixed or mobile networks, require optimized rendering. The provision of media content in a variety of quality and price levels, through the concept of the Quality of Experience is considered as the most dominant among the various current and future visions of multimedia networking. The concept of the QoE-driven service provision, based on multimedia content adaptation across heterogeneous networks, is and will still in the near future a key-issue among Service Providers.

At the forefront of innovation to meet ever growing users expectations, the VIOTECH Lab, VIOTECH's Research Center, is proud to present QoEmonT®, a User side Quality of Experience (QoE) evaluation tool informing on the perceptual satisfaction that the End-User receives from the reception of audiovisual content.
This unique QoE Monitoring Tool includes a traditional Quality of Service (QoS) module and an effective QoE assessment module, bringing out concrete provisioning of real-time information on both QoS and QoE parameters.

QoEmonT® helps to provide best possible QoE with regard to the actual user context (location, device capabilities, network conditions, etc) by means of appropriate adaptation mechanisms, as implemented in our HomeB multimedia platform.
