PIKA Technologies’ Analog Building Blocks Power Hammer Test Platforms
Ottawa, Canada-/12 April, 2005 - Wi-Fi Technology Forum/- PIKA Technologies today announced that Empirix Inc. has chosen reliable PIKA media processing building blocks to enable voice services in its Hammer FX-TDM test systems. PIKA Technologies’ products dramatically reduce the costs associated with high-density analog configurations.
Hammer products are the industry's most widely used VoIP IP/TDM test solutions, as verified by three consecutive Frost & Sullivan market surveys. Since the introduction of its first VoIP test system in 1995, the Hammer product family has grown to include a full range of testing platforms, products and services that span the complete development and deployment lifecycle for next-generation services. Leading network equipment manufacturers, service providers, independent labs and enterprise network operators rely on Hammer's proven TDM/VoIP testing technology and patented innovations to cost-efficiently verify the functionality, performance and quality of service of next-generation equipment and networks.
“Our design spec requires running voice processing services and monitoring services on a single high density analog network interface board. We did the research and found that PIKA Technologies was able to meet our requirements,” said Steve Gladstone, VP and General Manager, Communications Infrastructure Group, Empirix Inc. “PIKA Technologies’ extremely reliable media processing building blocks allow us to offer higher density analog Hammer FX-TDM configurations at a lower price per port. An added bonus has been the exceptional technical support we received from their Customer Care department during the design cycle.”
