RADCOM Announces Wire-Speed 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Module for PrismLite WAN/LAN/ATM Protocol Analyzer Helps troubleshoot full-duplex fast Ethernet links and mixed-technology environments MAHWAH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 1998-- RADCOM Ltd. (NASDAQ-NM Symbol: RDCMF - news) today announced its new 10/100 Mbps Ethernet module for the PrismLite and Prism200 WAN/LAN/ATM analyzers. The module offers wire-speed testing of half- or full-duplex Fast Ethernet links, wire-speed traffic generation, 7-layer protocol analysis and integration with other ATM and WAN modules. ''With the immense popularity of 100 Mbps Ethernet in corporate environments, network managers and end-users seek a solution to test 100 Mbps links going to file servers and desktops,'' said Yoav Banin, product manager at RADCOM. ''The new auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps module for the PrismLite makes our WAN/LAN/ATM protocol analyzer an all-purpose ''Swiss Army Knife'' for testing mixed technology environments. This is the only portable test equipment providing simultaneous Fast Ethernet/ATM or Fast Ethernet/WAN testing.'' The 100 Mbps module provides full duplex wire-speed testing for fast Ethernet links. As a result, users don't have to worry about missing information that may be crucial to their troubleshooting efforts. Wire-speed traffic generation, including play back of captured data, assures that critical problems can be easily reproduced. In addition, this module supports RADCOM's unique 7-layer-live technology, allowing live analysis of high-layer protocols such as HTTP. To further reduce downtime on mission-critical networks, RADCOM also offers unique cable taps, both for copper and fiber links, allowing non-intrusive monitoring of full-duplex Ethernet links. These taps, the MegaTap and FiberTap, allow the user to plug the analyzer into the circuit without tearing down the link. ''Our customers can easily measure packet latency and loss between ports of same or different technologies,'' added Mr. Banin. ''The system time stamp, synchronized to one microsecond across all ports, together with simultaneous operation of ATM and LAN or WAN and LAN, make it easy to optimize router configurations or measure the performance of a firewall using this new module.'' The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet module will begin shipping this June. About RADCOM RADCOM is a leading network test equipment manufacturer.
