Dilithium Sells Test Tools Product Line to
Ixia
Petaluma – January 24, 2006 – Dilithium, the
leading supplier of 3G multimedia solutions, announced today that it has sold its test tools product line
to Ixia, a leading global provider of voice and IP network testing
solutions.
“Our test products have become the leading test solutions for
3G 324M network operators, OEMs, and terminal manufacturers
around the world,” said Paul Zuber, Chief Executive Officer
of Dilithium. “However, we have decided to focus
all of our efforts on core infrastructure and related
businesses such as Multimedia Gateways, which enable video
and multimedia solutions across 3G and broadband networks.
This business is growing rapidly and we believe it would be
very challenging to continue to maintain global leadership
in both the test tools and the infrastructure businesses.
Ixia is the leader in measurement solutions for IP networks and the acquisition of DNA and related test products
will allow them to further expand their business into mobile
networks. Dilithium and Ixia are both committed to ensuring
business continuity and we are confident of Ixia serving our
existing customers well into the future.”
“The market for mobile video is fast expanding with the
introduction of innovative 3G product offerings by wireless
carriers and content providers,” said Cliff Hannel, Vice
President Acquisitions and Strategy for Ixia. “This is a
new high growth test market for Ixia that would extend our
wireless offerings. The DNA test solution can be used in
conjunction with Ixia’s IxLoad and IxVoice products to test
a wide array of IP and circuit switched data, voice and
signaling infrastructures.”
