Brazilian Operator Awarded
Project through Berkana, RADCOM’s Local Distributor
Tel Aviv, Israel – RADCOM, Ltd. (NASDAQ and
TASE: RDCM), a leading network test and service monitoring
solutions provider, today announced that VIVO Celular,
a Brazilian mobile communications provider, selected
Omni-Q to measure the quality of services offered
over its multi-technology, multi-vendor network. The
Omni-Q system, purchased in the fourth quarter of
2006, will be used to monitor the quality of 2.5G
GPRS cellular service and SS7 signaling.
Omni-Q is a single platform,
vendor- and technology-neutral monitoring solution
that can help operators improve service quality, cut
costs, and increase revenue. Probes deployed throughout
the network monitor the traffic and gather statistics
that help service providers know exactly when and
where problems occur. This helps not only in troubleshooting
existing problems, but also in the preventive-maintenance
that ensures problems do not occur in the first place.
“One of the key reasons
we chose Omni-Q is its ability to generate custom-made,
intelligent reports for multiple users including the
NOC (Network Operations Center), engineering, customer
support and management,” said ?lvaro C?mara
Pe?anha, VIVO Celular’s Director of Planning
and Engineering. “The statistics it provides
enable analysis and trending on an hourly, daily,
weekly, or monthly basis. Support staff can use the
one-click drilling from monitoring to troubleshooting
to help them identify and solve network problems before
they inconvenience our subscribers. Omni-Q is a solution
that meets our requirements to maintain service quality
performance levels as we continue to expand our network
and service offerings.”
“We are proud to provide
Omni-Q as a strategic solution to VIVO Celular’s
current and future needs,” said Milton Donizeti,
Director of Berkana, RADCOM’s partner. “Its
flexible architecture and scalability makes it the
right choice for now and the right choice to support
any future VIVO Celular deployments, including
3G cellular technologies and voice over IP.”
“This is an important win for RADCOM and Berkana,”
said Hanan Klainer, Vice President Sales, RADCOM.
It not only underscores our mutual commitment to the
Brazilian market but also positions us for increased
penetration of this important region.”
