APPOSITE RELEASES NEW LINK EMULATOR PRODUCT
Linktropy 4500 Simulates Terrestrial, Wireless, and Satellite Networks
New York, NY (Interop) - December 12, 2005 ─ Apposite™ Technologies, Inc. today announced the release of the Linktropy™ 4500 link emulator at the Interop tradeshow. The Linktropy 4500 provides an efficient and economical way to simulate terrestrial, wireless, internet, satellite or private network links in a lab environment, making it easy to validate application performance and test and troubleshoot networks under a variety of real-world conditions.
The Linktropy 4500 simulates bandwidth, delay, congestion, bit errors, and other important link characteristics independently in both directions at speeds up to 155 Mbps while its highly precise algorithms help guarantee accurate results. With an intuitive and easy-to-use browser-based interface, users can install Linktropy and begin testing within minutes. The ability to switch between multiple stored configurations makes Linktropy ideal for automated product testing. Linktropy is also perfect for product demonstrations of networking equipment and client/server applications at customer sites and tradeshows.
"Even as the WAN becomes every more mission-critical for the transfer of data, voice, and video between distant offices, the choice of wired or wireless WAN technologies can have a great impact on performance," said DC Palter, President and Co-founder of Apposite Technologies. "We developed the Linktropy 4500 to help test, validate, and troubleshoot any type of enterprise or military network in the lab."
"We've over-engineered the product for precision and designed it to mimic the real behavior of WAN links so users can be confident in the results of their testing," said Jeremy McCooey, CEO and Co-founder. "We wanted to ensure engineers get their testing right the first time and don't waste time retesting."
With prices starting at $2500, including one year of support and maintenance, the Linktropy 4500 combines unmatched precision and ease-of-use in an economical package.
Demonstrations of the Linktropy 4500 will continue in the Apposite booth (#753) for the duration of the Interop tradeshow at the Javits Convention Center in New York City.
