UMTS Deployments of Femtocell Devices can now be Monitored and
Analyzed by RADCOM's end-to-end Solution BARCELONA, Spain, February
12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RADCOM, Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: RDCM),
a leading network test and service monitoring solutions provider,
today announced that it has extended the capability of its Network
Consultant troubleshooting solution to deliver analysis of
Femtocell technology for UMTS networks. "Femtocell deployment is
still in its infancy," said Ohad Lendner, RADCOM's Director of
Product Management for Cellular Solutions, "but RADCOM's Network
Consultant solution already delivers support for its high
performance needs, allowing online analysis and detection of
service problems, such as Femtocell faults, interference,
pollution, congestion and handover failures. The end-to-end view of
subscriber activity provided by Network Consultant includes
correlation of all signaling, enabling troubleshooting of faults on
the Radio and Core Network and providing analysis of QoS affected
by radio sub-network problems. It simultaneously monitors the
activity of thousands of Femtocells and calls, providing reports,
KPIs and alarms." Femtocell solutions are now being deployed to
improve residential and office cellular connectivity using in-room
access points. Service providers are promoting the technology as a
cost-effective way for customers to extend indoor coverage.
However, this service puts extreme loads on the network, with
thousands of cells located throughout the service area. With
revenue dependent on the ability to provide smooth connectivity of
those cells to the network, UMTS operators can now extend their
network view to the Femtocells to assure quality of service (QoS)
for those home/office customers. The Network Consultant
troubleshooting solution correlates information detected on the
various UMTS, GPRS and GSM interfaces and presents them in one
unified view. Its wide range of features provides both online and
offline end-to-end radio access, Core signaling and Core IP session
and service level overviews. Network Consultant drills down into
each interface, analyzing voice, video and data sessions. Using
RADCOM's innovative Network Consultant, cellular vendors and
operators can test specific cellular components and perform full
system testing of the whole cellular network. In addition, they can
view and analyze QoS end-to-end, together with other vital cellular
procedures such as attached/detached/PDP contexts, handover
analysis, roaming analysis, handset type analysis, statistics,
alarms, network errors and abnormalities throughout the whole IP
session, voice or video call. About RADCOM RADCOM develops,
manufactures, markets and supports innovative network test and
service monitoring solutions for communications service providers
