Apposite Technologies Markets Gigabit-Speed WAN Emulator
LAS VEGAS, NV, May 22, 2007 - Satnews Daily - Apposite Technologies, Inc. has unveiled the Linktropy 7500 and Linktropy 7500 Pro wide area network (WAN) emulation appliances.
Both Linktropy models simulate wide-area network links of up to 1 Gigabit/sec. at full line rate. The Linktropy 7500 emulates a single link, while the Linktropy 7500 Pro can emulate up to 4 separate links with an aggregate throughput of 4 Gbps.
Linktropy WAN emulators simulate bandwidth, delay, packet loss, congestion and other link impairments to emulate terrestrial, Internet, wireless, satellite or any other type of wide area network. An intuitive, browser-based user interface makes it easy to test the performance of networking applications under real-world conditions.
Both the Linktropy 7500 and 7500 Pro come in compact, 1U-sized, rack-mountable chassis, and include both copper and modular fiber/copper Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for convenient integration with any test network.
The Linktropy 7500 series joins the Linktropy 4500, which emulates WAN links of up to 155 Mbps. The Linktropy 4500, now in its second generation, has been deployed by enterprise network managers, software developers, networking equipment manufacturers, telecoms carriers, test labs, and military and government network designers.
With the capability of emulating links of up to 1 Gbps, the Linktropy 7500 series is ideal for benchmarking, demonstrating and troubleshooting a wide variety of high-speed networking applications.
“Linktropy WAN emulators have become the benchmark for ease-of-use and cost competitiveness in a WAN emulation solution,” said DC Palter, Apposite president. “The Linktropy 7500 now extends the Linktropy emulation capabilities to full gigabit speeds, and the Pro version expands it across multiple links. These new models offer an unbeatable solution for anyone who needs to test the performance of applications over high speed networks.”
