US : Catapult Communications announced that DCT2000 software and MGTS software now run on the same hardware platform -- concurrently. This feature allows customers to access the different testing capabilities provided by the two systems without buying a second hardware platform. In addition, customers who have a mix of DCT2000 and MGTS systems can consolidate their platforms to make more efficient use of their hardware and operational resources.

A no cost promotional program provides DCT2000 software that is equivalent to the software purchased for the MGTS system. There is no incremental support charge for the second system and free customer training is available. The new concurrent DCT2000 + MGTS operating capability is available for immediate shipment.

According to Dave Mayfield, Catapult President and COO, "Since introduction of the p100, p200, p300, p400 and m500 platforms, the DCT2000 and MGTS have shared a common hardware architecture. Concurrent DCT2000 + MGTS operation will provide our larger customers with operating efficiencies as well as a choice of two multi-user system environments for future test development."
