Tekelec Enhances Test Suite for IP Telephony Networks.Business Editors/High Tech Writers MORRISVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2000 velOSity Platform is a Leading Next-generation Diagnostics Solution Tekelec (Nasdaq: TKLC) has enhanced its market-leading next-generation networks test solution, velOSity(TM) IP, to provide equipment manufacturers with support for the emerging media gateway control (Megaco) H.248 media gateway control protocol. "Tekelec has added support for the Megaco H.248 protocol to its IP telephony The two-way transmission of voice over a packet-switched IP network, which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. testing portfolio, which includes TALI (transport adapter layer interface), SCTP (1) (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) An alternative to TCP that supports multiple transmission paths. Designed to facilitate SS7 signaling over TCP/IP, SCTP supports multiple IP addresses from the same host (multihomed host) and treats the data (stream control transmission protocol In the field of computer networking, the IETF Signaling Transport (SIGTRAN) working group defined the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) as a transport layer protocol in 2002. RFC 2960 defines the protocol, with RFC 3286 providing an introductory text. ) and SIP (session initiation protocol (protocol) Session Initiation Protocol - (SIP) A very simple text-based application-layer control protocol. It creates, modifies, and terminates sessions with one or more participants. Such sessions include Internet telephony and multimedia conferences. It is described in RFC 2543. )," explains Michael Caputo, assistant vice president of marketing for the Tekelec Network Diagnostics Division. "Tekelec continues to add diagnostic support for new and evolving protocols and currently supports more than 150 protocols and 3,500 variants. We continue to enhance our position as the leading next-generation diagnostics solution provider." David Hammond David Hammond is a director and acting teacher in the American theater. He trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and studied Elizabethan literature at Harvard University. , director of product marketing in the Tekelec Network Diagnostics Division, adds, "velOSity IP combines sophisticated diagnostic capabilities for H.248 (Megaco) IP technology with a wide variety of other signaling technologies, including wireless and SS7, for which Tekelec provides market-leading solutions. The combined technologies provide equipment vendors with test case capabilities not previously available-or even considered. As IP telephony expands rapidly, it is increasingly important that vendors have the ability to test these combined technologies." About velOSity Tekelec's velOSity diagnostic product family includes a high-speed platform, the i3000(TM), and advanced operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. architecture for testing existing and emerging/converging technologies. Products are specifically designed to test and verify next-generation network technologies such as signaling system 7 (SS7), including SS7 over asynchronous transfer mode See ATM.
