| IMS Test Solutions | ||
IMS provides the framework for a common application and session control layer standardized on IP, with SIP controlling all media sessions. Disaggregating the transport, control, and application functions of the service layer from the access network enables the transmission of any type of media (i.e., voice, video or data) using any type of access method (e.g., DSL, cable, FTTx, WiMAX, 3G mobile). More Information: |
All call and application signalling take the same paths, allowing a maximum convergence of services. The IMS standardization breaks down all the functions necessary to support multimedia applications and to provide standardized (open) interfaces towards application servers enabling enhanced premium services as well as the interworking with other (legacy) networks such as the PSTN/PLMN. Actual interfaces available are very much dependent on vendors' IMS implementation, also note that some interfaces are internal to the vendor's platform, and are not exposed externally. The following diagram illustrates a common deployment. The table that follows is a comprehensive list of allIMS interfaces. |

VoIP Testing Benefits: VOIP Testing and Monitoring Protocols: |
VoIP Testing and Monitoring Solutions: RADCOM’s Omni-Q VoIP testing, VoIP analysis, and VoIP monitoring solution gives service providers, ILECs and cable/MSOs complete visibility into the VoIP service running over the network, enabling early-stage fault detection, pre-emptive maintenance and optimization, and drill-down troubleshooting that leads to quick and easy fault resolution. For the VoIP testing domain, Omni-Q offers a set of non-intrusive, live traffic probes coupled with active/intrusive ones, covering next-generation VoIP technologies such as SIP, RTP and H323, as well as legacy voice technologies such as POTS, ISDN and SS7. |

| IPTV Monitoring | ||
| IPTV systems and deployments are complex in nature, with services based on heavy interaction between the various IPTV network components. Omni-Q for IPTV gives service providers a clear view into the different services available in their IPTV deployments. |
Omni-Q for IPTV monitors the transactions between the users STB and the middleware as well as those between the middleware and any external application servers. The system offers a complete picture of the performance of every component in the service delivery chain, with regard to each request generated by the STB and propagated to the middleware VOD servers or other video servers associated with the IPTV service delivery. | |
| Cellular Monitoring | ||
RADCOM offers a wide range of high performance cellular monitoring and testing technologies, and is constantly developing innovative solutions to support them. Cellular standards include GSM (Global System for Mobile telecommunications), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), UMTS (Third Generation or 3G), and CDMA2000 (Code Division Multiple Access). These protocols support digital teleservices, such as international roaming, caller identification, call forwarding, call waiting, multi-party conversations and barring of outgoing (international) calls. Third Generation (3G) cellular networks represent a shift from voice-centric services to converged services such as voice, data, video, and fax, and thus present new challenges to providers. |

| Video | ||
Video service has been identified as a promising service for Next Generation Networks. Video service is one of the main objectives of cellular operators for upgrading their network from 2.5G to 3G and is a dominant player in the race to the triple play. Since the number of subscribers is limited, video QoS is the main factor in determining the success of next generation networks. However ensuring the video QoS of services is a compound assignment because video is a complex wideband real-time service that requires high CPU resources for encoding/decoding variety of audio + video codecs, entails audio and video synchronization and meets interoperability problems between different video servers and handsets. Video service include different applications such as video telephony, streaming (playback of video files through the network) that includes IP-TV, Gaming (interactive game played on the video stream), etc. |
RADCOM provides comprehensive video analysis for both Wireline applications and cellular applications and enables users to identify video problems at the different levels of the video application and evaluate the performance of the video devices. Related Technologies: |

| Cable TV Monitoring | ||
| Cable TV technology is a broadband communication technolgy where a number of televison channels are transmitted to a variety of loactions. RADCOM's Omni-Q as well as the MediaPro application provide unique solutions for testing Cable technology as well as VoIP encoded over cable networks. | Related Technologies: |

| Data/IP | ||
In the past, most of the traffic on communications networks was voice. Today, the amount of data traffic around the world is larger than that of voice, a trend which is on the rise. Data traffic allows organizations to run vital applications such as Internet, email and CRM. RADCOM has diverse lines of products for network monitoring and testing that quickly identify and solve problems. The large number of interfaces and protocols supported enables RADCOM's products to connect to a number of different lines simultaneously and allows rapid location and solution of problems. |
