RADCOM Announces Exclusive Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) Test Solution Suite.Business & Technology Editors NetWorld Interop 2000 LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 9, 2000 GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) The first high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that used the GSM technology. GPRS added a packet-switched channel to GSM, which uses dedicated, circuit-switched channels for voice conversations. 2000, CANNES, France & NetWorld+Interop First to Market Solution Enables Developers and Service Providers to Perform End-to-End WAP (1) (Wireless Access Point) See access point. (2) (Wireless Application Protocol) A standard for providing cellular phones, pagers and other handheld devices with secure access to e-mail and text-based Web pages. Application Testing 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 the immediate availability of a complete WAP test solution suite. WAP is currently used to provide Internet connectivity to the cellular world. Most WAP-based applications run on bearer technologies such as SMS (1) (Storage Management System) Software used to routinely back up and archive files. See HSM. (2) (Systems Management Server) Systems management software from Microsoft that runs on Windows NT Server. , CSD CSD Commission on Sustainable Development CSD Serbian Dinar (ISO currency code) CSD Christopher Street Day CSD Circuit Switched Data (Sprint) CSD Computer Science Department CSD Community School District , GPRS and UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) The GSM implementation of the 3G wireless phone system. Part of IMT-2000, UMTS provides service in the 2 GHz band and offers global roaming and personalized features. . The unpredictability of certain parameters of these technologies, such as delay, packet loss and service availability greatly impact quality of service which can lead to implementation problems. "RADCOM's WAP protocol test solution suite enables WAP-based application developers and service providers to measure the dynamic effects of the Internet on their WAP applications prior to and after deployment," commented Mr. Anthony S. Wiley, President of RADCOM RADCOM Radar Communication RADCOM Radio Communications Company, Inc. RADCOM Robert and Angela Dianetti Communications RADCOM Revised Alternative Dataflow Communications RADCOM Research And Development Communications Inc. "Additionally, the planned capability to simulate SMS, CSD, and GPRS network behavior, which will allow developers and service providers to test the performance of their applications over such networks, under simulated and live conditions will follow." The variety of bearer technologies, coupled with the uncertainty of quality of service over cellular interfaces, creates significant variances in the performance of WAP-based applications as they migrate from the developer's lab to the Internet and cellular arenas. RADCOM's WAP test suite helps to solve those problems before developers and service providers go live with their WAP-based applications. "To effectively troubleshoot and tune WAP-based applications, developers and service providers need to be able to quickly isolate, analyze and resolve deployment problems. RADCOM's WAP test solution suite gives them that ability," concluded Mr. Wiley. The WAP test solution is a valuable addition to RADCOM's leading data over cellular test suite making it the most comprehensive solution currently available. It complements the current and planned GSM, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. , GPRS and UMTS simulation and monitoring test solutions RADCOM offers in a single, portable device. These solutions support all physical interfaces used in the cellular infrastructure including Frame Relay, ATM (AAL (ATM Adaption Layer) The part of the ATM protocol that breaks up application packets into 48-byte payloads which become ATM cells when the 5-byte headers are attached. The AAL resides between the higher layer transport protocols and the ATM layer. 2, AAL3 and AAL4-5) and Fast Ethernet, as well as associated protocol stacks.
