Mariner, a provider of IP video solutions and applications, announced GTA Teleguam will be deploying its xVu service monitoring solution integrated within Cisco's Visual Quality of Experience (VQE)  platform. This deployment represents the first joint customer launch of the integrated platform following the partnership announcement made by Mariner in early September at IBC 2009.

GTA Teleguam, Guam's leading full-service communications provider, is using the integrated VQE platform to ensure high quality of experience (QoE) for users of their Guam Digital TV (GUdTV) offering.  The joint solution provides GTA Teleguam with a cost effective IPTV service assurance system that will improve end user QoE and reduce costly truck rolls and customer churn. GTA Teleguam required a complete, integrated service assurance solution that would boost customer satisfaction for its GUdTV offering. The combined Cisco/Mariner solution provides GTA Teleguam network operations, field technicians and senior management with end-to-end insight into their digital TV service.

This launch represents the first deployment of the xVu suite of network monitoring solutions in the Pacific Region. Mariner is well-established in North America with several current installations in Canada and the continental U.S.   The company also launched into the European market in March 2009.
