  • Direct Access To T1 E1 DS0 On OC-3/12 STM-1/4 On LightSpeed1000™

    GL Communications Inc.

    Voice, data, and video traffic is exploding as smartphones, IP TV, video streaming, and "cloud" based services takeoff.  A majority of the backbone transport for these applications continues to be SONET and SDH optical transmission networks.  A dominant protocol for IP transport is PoS (Packet over SONET) and another is ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode).  Both schemes are packet based, with ATM using fixed size packets of 53 bytes called "cells", and PoS using variable packet sizes closely matching to Ethernet frames.

  • MC-MLPPP Analyzer And Emulator

    GL Communications Inc.

    The Point-to-point protocol (PPP) is a link layer protocol, which encapsulates other network layer protocols like IP for transmission on synchronous (like T1/E1) and asynchronous communications lines. When transmitted over T1/E1 line, PPP frames are based on HDLC frame structure. Two major features of PPP protocol are:*Authentication*Encapsulation of higher layer protocols

    GL Communications Inc.

    *NetSurveyorWeb™ is a centralized VoIP network monitoring system. A number of GL's PacketScan™ probes and/or,PacketProbes™ are deployed in remote locations across the network to passively monitor VoIP traffic. Whenever a monitored call completes, the scan/probe calculates a variety of quality metrics (MOS, loss, delay, jitter, etc) and sends the metrics to the central Oracle database for storage.**The PacketScan™ is a feature-robust Windows® based software tool that captures and monitors live IP traffic. In the VoIP world, it can monitor and measure SIP, H323, Megaco, MGCP, T.38 and video calls. In addition to quality metricsPacketScan™ also captures signaling information and sends that to the NetSurveyorWeb™ database as well.**GL's PacketProbe™ is an advanced CPE(Customer Premises Equipment) based VoIP monitoring reporting and diagnostic appliance, stemming from GL's suite of market leading voice analysis tools.
