NAPERVILLE, Ill – Tekno Telecom, a leader in SS7, IMS and LTE network monitoring and service assurance, announced today that STRATA Networks has selected the NetQuest Monitoring System, Sonus’ Diameter Signaling Controller (DSC) 8000 and Sonus’ Integrated Monitoring Feed feature for its nationwide voice and wireless network. This joint solution provides STRATA with increased network visibility and troubleshooting capabilities.
