Tekelec Introduces Comprehensive Suite of IP Telephony Diagnostic Solutions Initial Applications Focus on Broadband Multimedia Testing biz.yahoo.com MORRISVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 17, 2002-- Tekelec (Nasdaq: TKLC) announced today major enhancements to the Message Generator Traffic Simulator (MGTS®) that enable companies to diagnose real-world Internet protocol (IP) functionality on systems and devices under test. The Tekelec real-time transport protocol (RTP)/real-time transport conferencing protocol (RTCP) and stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) functions allow companies to test broadband multimedia Internet and web-based products and services. ``With the addition of RTP/RTCP and SCTP functionality, developers and carriers can test real-time media streams transported over IP trunks,'' explains David Hammond, Tekelec director of marketing. ``The functionality allows the Tekelec i3000 platform to be used for functional and load testing of nodes within a voice over IP (VoIP) network. The supported RTP/RTCP transport will initially be 10/100 Base-T Ethernet, but will be enhanced for AAL5/ATM (ATM adaptation layer 5/asynchronous transfer mode) as well as GTP-u (General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) tunneling protocol user plane).'' Hammond adds, ``With the addition of this suite of IP telephony solutions, the MGTS i3000 supports even more revenue-generating applications sought by equipment manufacturers and carriers alike. RTP/RTCP and SCTP are accepted as fundamental components of emerging IP telephony solutions. The MGTS, with its emphasis on full-stack validation, provides confidence to the manufacturers of these applications that they will smoothly integrate into new networks. Tekelec is unique in its approach to testing by providing real-world load traffic solutions over both bearer and signaling channels.''
