RADCOM Announces Availability of Fast Ethernet Testing Solution Wire-speed, seven-layer capture and traffic generation serve network managers, field service professionals and developers TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 25, 1998-- RADCOM Ltd. (NASDAQ: RDCMF - news) today announced the immediate availability of its Fast Ethernet testing solution: MegaScope(tm) 10/100 Mbps Ethernet analyzer and MegaView(tm) analysis software. MegaScope is a portable network analysis and simulation tool that can capture and generate packets at 100 Mbps wire-speed in half or full duplex Fast Ethernet environments. MegaScope's unparalleled performance combined with MegaView's comprehensive monitoring and troubleshooting statistics provide an ideal testing solution for network managers and field service professionals. Fast Ethernet developers can also benefit from MegaView's line-rate traffic generation capabilities and convenient packet editing functions. ''LAN bandwidth has increased tenfold and network testing tools are struggling to keep up. Line speed performance is absolutely essential for effective monitoring, troubleshooting and device testing tasks,'' comments Yuval S. Boger, Vice President of Products at RADCOM. ''MegaScope captures every packet in any half or full duplex Fast Ethernet segment, guaranteeing that the cause of network downtime is detected quickly and network problem isolation done efficiently.'' Testing Fast Ethernet Networks In response to skyrocketing demands for network bandwidth, many LAN backbones and server connections are using full duplex, 100 Mbps links. RADCOM's MegaScope offers network managers and field service professionals a portable, comprehensive solution for testing such links. MegaView, with its seven-layer decodes and comprehensive network statistics, displays the necessary information in easy-to-read charts and tables. Besides coping with increased bandwidth, today's sprawling networks require network managers to be everywhere at the same time and field service personnel to have access to the farthest reaches of the network. RADCOM's Fast Ethernet solution includes a remote capability that enables users to monitor the entire network from any connected station. In addition, the MegaTap(tm) family of non-intrusive network taps enable direct traffic observation on a full or half duplex 10/100 Ethernet segment without breaking network connections. Testing Network Devices In addition to network testing, developers and troubleshooters need the ability to recreate and simulate problematic network conditions in order to test Fast Ethernet equipment. MegaView allows generation of traffic at all seven layers of the OSI model. It provides transmission of a combination of captured data files and/or user-defined streams to enable customized testing of devices. All this at wire speed. ''MegaScope together with MegaView provide a comprehensive solution for Fast Ethernet testing. This coupled with RADCOM's other award-winning products (RC-100WL & PrismLite) provide network professionals a complete range of test solutions for WANs, LANs and ATM'', concludes Boger.
