BreakingPoint selects Continuous Computing's Trillium LTE protocol software

Continuous Computing has 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.

BreakingPoint's patented network processor-driven architecture powers the BreakingPoint Storm Cyber Tomography MachineÔ (CTM). Continuous Computing's Trillium LTE protocol software is optimized for multi-core, multi-threaded processors

"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."
