Boeing and Radcom Ltd. to Collaborate in Producing High-speed Protocol Analyzers
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 4, 1998--The Boeing Company [NYSE:BA - news] and RADCOM Ltd., a leading provider of internetwork testing equipment, announced today their intention to collaborate in offering a new family of high-performance protocol analyzers. These new products, which use advanced technology components from both companies, will initially target Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) analysis at 622 Mbps and beyond.
Under terms of an agreement to be finalized over the next few weeks, Boeing will enhance a new protocol analyzer, the AS4950 which was introduced earlier this year. The AS4950 is the first ''adaptive'' network analyzer to support multi-technology and multi-protocol applications on a single board. Boeing will integrate key RADCOM components into the AS4950, and RADCOM will assume sales and marketing responsibility for the product. The first integrated product is slated for shipment in September, 1998.
Commenting on the announcement, Moty Ben Arie, CEO of RADCOM, said, ''This cooperative effort with Boeing underlines our strategy to partner with key technology partners. We believe that the new product will be a unique and powerful testing tool, ideal for today's changing communications world.''
James Hora, Boeing Product Line Manager, said, ''We are very pleased to team with RADCOM. Its worldwide sales and marketing channels, together with its proven protocol analyzer expertise, make RADCOM a valuable partner. By integrating Boeing's innovative ATM analyzer technology with RADCOM's proven expertise and market presence, we can quickly bring an innovative and powerful product to market.''
