COPENHAGEN, Denmark, May 21, 2013 – Napatech, the world’s leading supplier of network analysis adapters, announced today that it has received two 2013 Hot Companies and Best Products Awards from Network Products Guide. The Napatech NT20E2-PTP real-time analysis adapter was a Bronze winner for Best IT Hardware, while Napatech’s GTP tunneling support feature won the EMEA Hot Technologies category.

“The NT20E2-PTP adapter with the GTP tunneling feature provides a powerful solution for network equipment vendors that need to build analysis products, especially for mobile networks,” stated Erik Norup, President and CMO, Napatech. “We are pleased that Network Products Guide has chosen to recognize us with these two awards. They are a validation of our company’s continued commitment to providing powerful network analysis solutions using standard servers.” 

  The NT20E2-PTP adapter makes time synchronization implementation easier for OEM vendors and end-users by providing the capability to plug directly into the PTP network. The nanosecond precision time-stamping capabilities can precisely measure jitter and delay in mobile networks, even at speeds up to 40 Gbps.   New tunneling protocol support extracts information from GTP tunnels to allow efficient analysis of applications and services used on mobile networks. Napatech adapters perform flow identification and intelligent distribution to multiple server CPU cores based on the contents of the tunnels, rather than on the tunnel itself.

This enables Napatech telecom equipment vendors and their customers to accelerate their mobile data analysis application.   These industry and peer recognitions from Network Products Guide are the world's premier information technology awards honoring achievements and recognitions in every facet of the IT industry. Winners from all over the world were honored in Las Vegas on Tuesday, May 7, 2013 during the 8th annual dinner and presentations.   To learn more about Napatech, visit: www.napatech.com.
