Voice over Data Testing Applications Released from RADCOM.


TEL AVIV Tel Aviv (tĕl əvēv`), city (1994 pop. 355,200), W central Israel, on the Mediterranean Sea. Oficially named Tel Aviv–Jaffa, it is Israel's commercial, financial, communications, and cultural center and the core of its largest , Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 1998--

Latency & Loss and Jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle  analysis applications measure delay and delay variance of packetized voice The transmission of real time voice in a packet switching network.  and video

RADCOM Ltd Radcom (NASDAQ: RDCM), researches, develops, manufactures and markets network testing, analysis, monitoring and simulation equipment. Radcom products work with a wide variety of network protocols including LAN, WAN, ATM, GSM, GPRS, UMTS, CDMA, CDMA2000, VoIP, TCP/IP, Video, IPTV, . (NASDAQ-NM Symbol: RDCMF) announced the release of Latency & Loss and Jitter analysis applications, the first phase in a comprehensive program designed to address the testing needs of real-time, delay sensitive applications such as voice over IP and MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) An ISO/ITU standard for compressing digital video. Pronounced "em-peg," it is the universal standard for digital terrestrial, cable and satellite TV, DVDs and digital video recorders (DVRs).  video over ATM. Integrating seamlessly with the RC-100WL and Prism analyzer platforms, these powerful analysis tools remain true to RADCOM's internetworking philosophy of applying to all networks and technologies including WAN, 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.  and ATM.

"Although voice over data in all of its flavors (IP, 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.  and ATM) is rapidly gaining acceptance, the challenge of delivering voice streams with minimal delay and delay variance remains," says Yoav Banin, product manager at RADCOM RADCOM Radar Communication

. "Currently there are very few testing applications for this promising market. RADCOM is initiating an extensive line of testing products aimed at developers, service providers and corporate end-users."

In addition to these network performance measurement tools, RADCOM provides decodes of the leading packetized voice and video protocols such as Voice over Frame Relay (FRF FRF

.11), RTP/RTCP, and MPEG-2 over ATM. Complete support of H.323, the Voice over IP standard, is scheduled for release in the last quarter of 1998.

Importance of Testing Voice over Data

Delay, loss and jitter have a direct impact on the quality of real-time, continuous media. A conversation suffering varying delay becomes choppy chop·py 1

Having many small waves; rough: choppy seas.



[From chop1.
 and unnatural with the participants unintentionally interrupting each other. Although the tremendous savings to be gained by transporting voice over data are very tempting, most business are not prepared to risk critical customer calls to spotty voice connections.

Developers face the task of minimizing the packetization and compression delays in their gateways, and optimizing jitter buffer and packet fragmentation algorithms. If 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.  service providers wish to expand their business, they will be required to offer Quality of Service type guarantees. Finally, if end-users don't want to be disappointed after installing a voice over data system, they would be wise to check whether their networks, in their current configurations, are equipped to handle the demands of voice.

"Latency, loss and jitter analysis is a crucial element to all participants in the voice over data chain. It applies to developers testing their devices, service providers evaluating what level of service they can realistically guarantee, and network managers provisioning their networks for voice over data service," continues Banin.

The Latency & Loss and Jitter Analysis applications are available immediately from RADCOM. Contact your local distributor for pricing and ordering information.
