Concord Communications Signs Up With Two New Principals

OPTICOM

Concord Communications Associates, Inc. (CCAI) is pleased to announce it is now representing OPTICOM products through its North American distributor Opticom Instruments Inc. OPTICOM is the pioneer of perceptual measurement, providing the latest achievements of standards-based quality measurement solutions for voice and wide-band audio since 1995. Whether it's voice quality in telecommunications, audio quality of music and broadcast signals or video quality of TV signals, quality is their business. With the new OPERA family of perceptual analyzers, OPTICOM has again proven its global leadership for state-of-the-art solutions to test and measure the audio quality of new media.

OPTICOM was founded by its CEO, Michael Keyhl, in 1995 as a "spin-off" company of the Fraunhofer Institute, Germany's leading organization for applied research, which is also known as the home of MP3, the most successful audio compression format for the Internet. Having been the sole point of PSQM licensing in the world since the definition of the standard in 1996, OPTICOM has been instrumental in the commercial introduction of PSQM and the technology of perceptual measurement as such.

Since 2001, Opticom Instruments Inc., located in Los Altos, Silicon Valley, California, has been the sole distributor in North America for OPTICOM GmbH. In a short period of time, Opticom Instruments Inc. has established itself as one of the leaders in the North American market for Voice and Audio Quality measurement and analysis. The two senior managers, Walter van Hooff, President and founder, and Aart Konynenberg, VP Business Development, have a combined 50 years of high tech experience in varous roles including founding, building and successfully selling a software company, building very successful T&M product line, developing new products, managing product development, sales and business development, etc. CCAI is pleased to be able to bring OPTICOM products to businesses in the New England and Upstate New York areas.
