RADCOM's Multiple Access Protocol over SONET/SDH -- MAPOS -- Support Certified by NTT.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MAHWAH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25, 2000 Collaboration with NTT yields support of MAPOS MAPOS Multiple Access Protocol over SONET/SDH by RADCOM's WireSpeed(TM) Analyzer RADCOM Ltd. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : RDCM RDCM Radarman, Master Chief (USN Rating) ), a leading network test and quality management solutions provider, today announced support of Multiple Access Protocol over SONET/SDH (MAPOS), based on the new protocol suite developed by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (日本電信電話株式会社 Corporation (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : NTT). "RADCOM's PoS WireSpeed is one of the best analyzers on the market that natively supports the MAPOS protocol suite. Its line rate capture and generation capacity blew lots of other test equipment away," said Mr. Ken Murakami, senior research scientist, NTT network innovation laboratories. "In addition, it plays an integral role in the debugging of MAPOS PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). NICs, tuning up forward throughput of MAPOS switches. We appreciate RADCOM's collaborative work on MAPOS implementation and its superior performance," concluded Mr. Murakami. The NTT group is a world leader in the communications market and is one of the world's largest telecom providers. RADCOM's WireSpeed offers both carriers and developers a solution to their oc-12/STM-4 full line rate capture, analysis, statistics and generation requirements. An easy to use and intuitive interface, coupled with 7-layer protocol support, enables fast and efficient pinpointing and troubleshooting of network problems. "Excellent hardware capabilities are not enough," said Mr. Doron Elinav, Product Manager, RADCOM Ltd. "IP over SONET See packet over SONET. and SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) The European counterpart to SONET. See SONET. SDH - Synchronous Digital Hierarchy architectures are becoming increasingly more common, and adding MAPOS support considerably extends RADCOM's coverage of protocols in the telecommunications market. Our collaboration with NTT is part of RADCOM's strategy to increase our penetration of the Japanese market and specifically, the service provider market," concludes Mr. Elinav. MAPOS-A New Protocol for Scalable and High-Speed Internetworking The MAPOS protocol, defined in RFC 2171-6, provides multiple access capability over SONET/SDH. It has the scalability of SONET/SDH and also provides a seamless network environment. Supporting multicasts, MAPOS is also well-suited for IP traffic. An efficient and simple forwarding mechanism makes it an excellent solution for high-speed networking at all networking levels: SONET LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. , SONET campus backbone, SONET Internet backbone, and Internet exchange using SONET WAN. MAPOS supports a wide range of line rates from 155 Mbps to 10 Gbps, with the potential for higher rates in the future.
