[September 23, 2003] RADCOM Debuts SIP Services Test Solution Suite at Fall 2003 VoN New solution tests push-to-talk, presence and instant messaging and moreBOSTON, MA -- Sept. 22, 2003 -- Fall 2003 VoN -- RADCOM Ltd. (Nasdaq: RDCM - News), a leading network test and quality management solutions provider, today unveiled an advanced R&D and QA lab tool set for comprehensive testing of push-to-talk over Cellular (PoC); video conferencing; video streaming; and presence and instant messaging (P&IM) SIP-based services. This new simulation solution suite is based on the company's flagship Performer(TM) platform. It emulates a virtually unlimited number of SIP terminals enabling vendors and service providers to implement robust testing programs in order to speed time to market. Push-to-Talk call simulation is accomplished by configuring end-point terminals to simulate PoC entity behavior. With a GUI that makes call configuration fast and easy, the product generates PoC calls using the Early Media call-flow scenario. To load test Voice and Video over IP services and devices, the product transmits RTP voice packets encoded in various voice and video codec formats. It generates up to 4,500 outgoing RTP channels per Fast Ethernet link and up to 50,000 per Giga Ethernet link. RADCOM's P&IM test solution is based on SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE). To stress test the presence server, it creates different call message flows such as register, unregister, subscribe, unsubscribe and message. Stressing the IM server is accomplished by sending register and subscribe message flows followed by numerous message methods, at fixed intervals. Designed to support thousands of users, the SIPSim suite emulates the actual behavior of tens of thousands of User Agent Clients (UACs) and IP addresses. SIP is widely acknowledged as the preferred signaling protocol not only for internet telephony but instant messaging, internet conferencing and presence services. The protocol has also been adopted by 3GPP as a part of the third generation mobile architecture. However, to be successful, equipment manufacturers and service providers need to ensure that the VoIP equipment has been thoroughly tested. Solutions such as RADCOM's SIPSim, a component of the VoIP Performer offers end-users the capability of stress testing the signaling, measuring proper protocol implementation, and ascertaining standards compliance and signal integrity, all with the goal of easing the testing processes, reducing time-to market and cost of deployment. -- Sailaja Tennati, Industry Analyst, Test & Measurement Group, Frost & Sullivan In order to ensure long-term customer value, RADCOM specifically designed the SIPSim to accommodate easy introduction of future services testing, said Dudi Ripstein, General Manager, Products & Technologies. These new stress modules take advantage of the SIPSim's scalability and intuitive user interface to allow customers to create test scripts containing thousands of calls in just a few seconds.
