Network Modeling & Simulation Software

August 1, 2008

Scalable Network Technologies (Los Angeles, CA) has released QualNet 4.5 modeling and simulation software for predicting wireless, wired, and mixed-platform network and networking device performance in the aerospace and defense industries. Enhancements include a sensor network library for the Zigbee standard, and the capability to simulate urban propagation such as suburban terrain and 3D visualization, outdoor urban path loss, and urban /suburban foliage. A new Information Assurance/Network Security Library includes models that encrypt, authenticate, manage key distribution and certificates, secure neighbors, and mimic adversaries. The software features platform portability and interface flexibility. Sequential and parallel processing environments on UNIX, Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux are supported.
