TEL AVIV -- RADCOM, Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: RDCM), a leading network test and service assurance solutions provider, today announced that KPN, the Netherlands' major telecom operator, has selected RADCOM's Omni-Q solution for end-to-end monitoring of its IMS network. KPN will deploy the distributed system, based on RADCOM's powerful new R70 probes, to facilitate fault management, service performance analysis, troubleshooting and pre-mediation.

Omni-Q's ability to correlate network-wide sessions involving TDM, VoIP and IMS protocols in a multi-vendor environment is an important component in KPN's rollout strategy. KPN's new IMS platform will replace the existing SS7 technology over the next few years, making the carrier one of the first operators worldwide to adopt and deploy an operational IMS core.

KPN's selection of RADCOM comes in the wake of a successful Omni-Q deployment to monitor its extensive residential VoIP network, which has handled more than a million subscribers to date. The experiences gained from the rollout in this network will benefit the IMS project and will also influence RADCOM's product for IMS networks.

"Omni-Q's deployment fits well into KPN's strategy of ensuring service quality. RADCOM's customer-centric attitude along with Omni-Q's flexible architecture and comprehensive network and service monitoring solution gives us the tools and information we need to confidently roll out services over IMS. We evaluated many solutions, and Omni-Q was definitely the most advanced," said Karl-Heinz van der Made, KPN's Director of Service Operations.
