At AVEQ, a significant part of our work involves the deep analysis of video streams to understand and quantify quality. While our flagship product Surfmeter uses a client-side approach to measure delivery QoE (i.e., how well does the network support streaming?), we also needed a solution to understand video quality at the source. Think, for example, ingesting video streams that might be affected by blockiness or frozen frames. Or verifying encoder output. To address this, we built the AVEQ VideoAnalyzer — and in this post we’re going to give you a sneak preview of it.
Seamless web browsing isn’t just a convenience; it’s a fundamental expectation by end-users in our connected world. For Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and network operators, delivering a fast, responsive online experience is important to customer satisfaction and retention. When web pages lag or videos buffer endlessly, subscribers don’t just get frustrated—they start looking for alternatives.
But here’s the challenge: a modern webpage is rarely a single, monolithic entity. It’s a complex set of content delivered by multiple sources. Your favorite news sites, shopping platform, or streaming service likely pulls in text, images, scripts, and video from various Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), each optimized for different types of content or geographic regions. The overall loading performance and the perceived user experience depend on the coordinated delivery from all these CDNs. If even one of them fails, the entire experience can suffer.
At AVEQ, we’re constantly pushing the R&D envelope to give you deeper, more actionable insights into this aspect. That’s why we’re thrilled to roll out a powerful new CDN analysis feature within our Surfmeter platform, designed to help you diagnose and tackle these very challenges head-on.

We want to provide comprehensive, accessible information about our video streaming (and network performance) monitoring solutions, and you should be able to read it without signing a non-disclosure agreement or going through multiple sales calls. Read on to find out more.
We are proud to announce our collaboration with zafaco GmbH, the technology and market leader for broadband network tests. This partnership is all about setting new benchmarks in video streaming quality measurement and optimization for ISPs.

Vienna, Austria — In 2020, Magenta shook up the Austrian market with the launch of the Entertain Box 4K. While the commercials for the new hardware flickered colorfully across the screens, a lot was going on behind the scenes. With the Surfmeter app, researchers at T-Labs and Vienna Entertainment Platforms have achieved a major breakthrough in quality assurance.
Video streaming is everywhere and expectations have become high. Consumers want to have a great experience watching streams wherever they want to, and on whatever device. But, how good is this Quality of Experience? Do you know the QoE of all your streams, on all types of devices?
We have created the product to give you the answer. Surfmeter calculates QoE with data from the devices on which the videos are streamed. Validated with real customer data at a world-leading telco, our solution uses its advanced algorithm to give ISPs, OTTs and MNOs what they need: data about how their customers experience their streamed content.
We are proud to present a product that is easy to deploy, runs on all devices and provides detailed technical and QoE data.
