LTE AMERICAS (DALLAS) and SAN DIEGO, USA – November 10 2010 – Continuous Computing, the global provider of integrated platform solutions that address the mobile broadband capacity challenge, today announced that BreakingPoint Systems has chosen its Trillium Long Term Evolution (LTE) protocol software. BreakingPoint is using Trillium LTE protocol software to help emulate aspects of an LTE network in order for carriers and equipment vendors to optimize and harden the resiliency of their LTE devices and infrastructure prior to deployment.

The market for LTE continues to grow, and time-to-market is critical to vendors who want to participate in the dynamic LTE marketplace. Traditionally, network equipment providers have developed new technology from the ground up, leading to extended development cycles. The breadth and robustness of Continuous Computing’s LTE solutions allows equipment vendors to get to market much quicker, and the availability of feature-rich validation solutions is critical to any telecom technology’s evolution from lab trials to real deployments. BreakingPoint’s rapid entry into the LTE market signals this maturation process is well underway.

BreakingPoint’s patented network processor-driven architecture powers the BreakingPoint Storm Cyber Tomography MachineÔ (CTM). By applying its technology, BreakingPoint has established itself as the standard by which carriers, equipment manufacturers, governments and enterprises measure, harden and optimize the resiliency of network and data center infrastructures.

“Representing the company’s 16th LTE customer win, our work with BreakingPoint marks a key milestone for the Trillium LTE product line and is further evidence that global LTE adoption is progressing quickly,” said Todd Mersch, director of product line management, Continuous Computing. “By working with Continuous Computing, BreakingPoint engineers were able to model the LTE landscape and can now provide carriers and equipment vendors with a complete and easy-to-use measurement and validation solution.”

“As they prepare to enter the LTE era, carrier networks will face a crush of dynamic traffic from user equipment such as smartphones, netbooks and tablet computers which will stress networks like never before, forcing carriers and equipment vendors to rethink LTE testing,” said Dennis Cox, BreakingPoint CTO and co-founder. “Validating the resiliency of LTE networks requires the ability to recreate real-world application and attack traffics on a massive scale in a highly controlled environment. By working with Continuous Computing and using Trillium LTE software, BreakingPoint has scaled its network validation capabilities and now provides coverage for 130+ applications and thousands of security attacks.”

Continuous Computing’s Trillium LTE protocol software is optimized for multi-core, multi-threaded processors and is built on the company’s unique expertise with multi-core processor architectures.

This customizable software solution has enabled Continuous Computing to maintain a clear market advantage in enabling faster time to market for network equipment providers and has driven the company’s numerous design wins in the LTE space – extending from the LTE Radio Access Network (RAN) for both femtocells to macrocells to the LTE Evolved Packet Core (EPC).
