TTI Telecom and RADCOM Join Forces to Deliver Integrated, Next Generation OSS Solution to Service Providers

Posted on: Thursday, 20 May 2004, 06:00 CDT

- Companies to Offer Joint Service Assurance Solution for VoIP and 3G Networks; Partnership Enables TTI Telecom To Expand Sales Channel into Next Generation Opportunities -

TTI Team Telecom International Ltd. (NASDAQ: TTIL) ("the Company"), a leading supplier of Operations Support Systems (OSS) and Business Support Systems (BSS) for telecom service providers, today announced that it has entered into a partnership with RADCOM Ltd. (NASDAQ: RDCM), a leading network test and quality management solutions provider that aids in pre-deployment and recurrent testing of VoIP, cellular and datacom system performance. The partnership expands TTI Telecom's markets and gives the Company a wider next generation service assurance solution.

TTI Telecom's partnership with RADCOM comes as the Company moves forward with its strategy to expand its addressable market with the development of new solutions aimed at the faster growing, next generation OSS and service fulfillment segments of the OSS market. Unlike traditional legacy networks, which generate network data from network elements, next generation networks rely on hardware probes for its network data. By integrating its Service Assurance solution with RADCOM's hardware probes, TTI Telecom offers next generation service providers a complete OSS and hardware solution. Additionally, the two companies will collaborate on marketing initiatives and joint sales globally.

"As we gain greater exposure to next generation opportunities worldwide, we have identified a growing demand for solutions incorporating both a software and hardware component. As an acknowledged leader in probes, RADCOM was the obvious partner to enable us to deliver a comprehensive solution to customers," said Avichai Levy, senior vice president of global marketing and business development. "Partnering with RADCOM also allows us to also better position our other next generation solutions, such as our service management offering, to these same customers. We look forward to working with RADCOM to our mutual benefit."

"RADCOM's joining of forces with an OSS leader such as TTI Telecom creates a significant advantage for service providers, enabling next generation monitoring of 3G and VoIP advanced services," says David Ripstein, General Manager of products and technologies in RADCOM. "Using RADCOM's hardware based platform as a powerful probe permits extracting on-line data from high-speed links at full line rate".

RADCOM offers the next generation VoIP Performer(TM), a range of applications for establishing and maintaining VoIP networks; the Cellular Performer, a test solution for the cellular market that supports the latest third generation cellular protocols. Customers include service providers globally and leading equipment vendors such as Nortel Networks and Cisco Systems.
