OPNET Demonstrates Breakthrough Capabilities for Network and Application Analysis at DSEi Conference in London

OPNET introduced numerous technology breakthroughs last month atOPNETWORK(R) 2005, its annual technology conference in WashingtonD.C., with over 1,800 attendees from 30 nations. DSEi, the world'slargest and fastest growing international tri-service defenceexhibition, is the first large public forum outside of the UnitedStates for these demonstrations. OPNET is the leading provider ofCommercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) network modelling solutions, proven atthousands of customer sites. For the defence community, OPNET supportsa broad spectrum of projects related to research, planning,operations, training and exercises, including: Network-CentricOperations and Warfare, Bowman Tactical Communications, joint andcoalition C4ISR, interagency and international interoperabilityassessments, Transformational Communications (Satellite), WIN-T, FCS,JTRS, and NETWARS.

Network analysis capabilities include:

-- High Performance Discrete Event Simulations (DES) of wired/wireless communications scenarios including: new "SMART MAC" for accelerating wireless simulations, fully parallel simulation engine, faster propagation modelling based on the new TIREM4 algorithm (co-developed with Alion Science & Technology), 3D communications visualization (co-developed with MAK Technologies), and large-scale mobile ad-hoc simulations.

-- Developmental and interoperability testing capabilities, leveraging system-in-the-loop interfaces that connect live hardware or software to OPNET simulations.

-- Enhanced communications modelling library including the industry's most complete IPv6 modeling suite (compatible with MANET routing)

-- OPNET's new 11.5 version of NetDoctor(R), IT Sentinel(TM), and SP Sentinel(TM) for automated network configuration integrity and security auditing.

-- Enhanced OPNET NETCOP(TM) solution, providing a 24x7 common operational picture of the production network, aggregated from multiple existing management systems and integrated with OPNET's planning solutions.

Application analysis capabilities include:

-- A new Advanced Console module for OPNET's ACE solution, which rapidly pinpoints the root cause of end-to-end application performance problems. The effects of network, system, and application issues are quantified, recommendations offered, and predictive testing provided to validate alternative solutions to problems.

-- OPNET's Panorama(TM) 3.0 product release, which provides real-time server-based analytics for J2EE/.NET applications. Panorama monitors thousands of application metrics to resolve production performance issues and to test performance prior to deployment.

"Our analytics automate communications problem solving for thewarfighter, and also provide realistic communications effectssimulation. Both are key enablers for effective transformation to nextgeneration tactical wireless systems, net-centric enterprise services,and service-oriented architectures," stated OPNET Vice President ofMarketing & Business Development, Todd Kaloudis.

Commenting on the new OPNET propagation modelling enhancements,Charles Goldblum, Vice President for Corporate Development at Alionstated, "Alion is proud to continue their development of the TIREMalgorithm and be able to evolve the technology to support the needs oftoday's military network research and operational needs. Thecombination of Alion's unsurpassed expertise with wirelesscommunications analysis and OPNET's best-in-class network modeling andsimulation technology has created a solution vital to the success ofnext-generation military networks. TIREMv4 represents a leap forwardin simulation technology to reduce the runtime burden for analysis oflarge scale wireless networks."
