Adtech, Telcordia Develop Multiprotocol Network Testing Solutions.Business Editors/High Tech Writers HONOLULU--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 24, 2000 Adtech, Inc., announced today that it is expanding its sublicensing relationship with Telcordia Technologies Telcordia Technologies, formerly Bell Communications Research, Inc. or Bellcore, is a telecommunications research and development (R&D) company based in the United States and created on January 1 1984 as part of the 1982 Modification of Final Judgment that broke up , Inc. (formerly Bellcore), by offering additional automated testing (testing) automated testing - Software testing assisted with software tools that require no operator input, analysis, or evaluation. products on its AX/4000 Broadband Test System for a variety of technologies, including Frame Relay A high-speed packet switching protocol used in wide area networks (WANs). Providing a granular service of up to DS3 speed (45 Mbps), it has become popular for LAN to LAN connections across remote distances, and services are offered by most major carriers. , IP, and PNNI (Private Network-to-Network Interface) A routing protocol used between ATM switches in an ATM network. It lets the switches inform each other about network topology so they can make appropriate forwarding decisions. . Utilizing the network integration expertise of Telcordia, these test products will help network carriers and equipment manufacturers automate their equipment testing and verify that their products will perform optimally when placed in a network. Telcordia will create the test plans and develop the basic test suite software. Adtech will provide sales and support. Both companies will work together to integrate the test suite software into a final product for the AX/4000 platform. Adtech's AX/4000 Broadband Test System was recently awarded &uot;Best of the Best&uot; by InternetWeek magazine for its overall quality, ease of use, and functionality. &uot;By developing and licensing our software to Adtech, Telcordia significantly reduces its software development time and accelerates product time to market, while providing high quality off-the-shelf testing standards,&uot; said Raghavan Kalkunte, director of ATM Broadband Technologies broadband technology Telecommunications devices, lines, or technologies that allow communication over a wide band of frequencies, and especially over a range of frequencies divided into multiple independent channels for the simultaneous transmission of different signals. at Telcordia. &uot;These test tools and test suites are key to making Telcordia testing expertise available to as many broadband communication providers as possible.&uot; Adtech has been developing telecommunications Communicating information, including data, text, pictures, voice and video over long distance. See communications. test systems since 1988 and introduced its AX/4000 Broadband Test System in 1994. Today, more than 100 major developers of telecommunications switching equipment and networks use Adtech's AX/4000 Broadband Test System to verify and guarantee their Quality of Service specifications. &uot;We believe this joint effort will enhance our success in the broadband market and expand Adtech's influence into testing other technologies,&uot; said Alan Sguigna, vice president of marketing for Adtech. &uot;By combining Adtech's award-winning test system with Telcordia test suites, our customers should see a significant improvement in time to market.&uot; Adtech currently markets a broad range of ATM test suites under license from Telcordia. The ATM test suites consist of an SSCOP SSCOP Service Specific Connection Oriented Protocol SSCOP Service Specific Convergence Protocol (Wandel Goltermann) test, ATM layer tests, UNI signalling tests, and PNNI signalling and routing tests. These advanced test suites run on the company's AX/4000 Broadband Test System. About Adtech, Inc Adtech, Inc.
