Partnership with Skyline Communications
TestTree's partnership with Skyline started in 2013 with the EdgeProbe product range: RF & QoS monitoring probes for DVB Broadcast Networks. Skyline's DataMiner connectors list grew as TestTree’s monitoring offering extended to the audio & video content quality check with the StreamProbe product range for Video QoS & QoE.
DataMiner Connectors
Skyline has many existing integrations with current TestTree products. Check out the DataMiner Catalog for more details on all TestTree connectors (including the StreamProbe product range for Video QoS & QoE).
