Analog Platforms
(T1/E1/T3/E3/OC-3/OC-12/STM-1/STM-4)
-
Almost all T1 E1 T3 E3 Testers can be accommodated into rack-based units. Multiple rack units can be stacked together for greater scalability. Shown below is a rack based tProbe™ T1 E1 / T3 E3 Analyzer unit, and a Channelized T3 E3 Analyzer unit supporting 6 T3s (6 * 672 DS0s). Such customized rack serves the purpose of handling multiple communications lines and test complex functionalities.

Protocol Analysis
-
GL's protocol analyzer provides monitoring a communication link in accordance with industry protocol standards by non-intrusively tapping the network under test. The simple framework of the protocol analysis software helps you easily identify the improper sequence of protocol messages, and filter out frames causing the protocol violation.

MC-MLPPP Analyzer And Emulator
-
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

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

Testing LTE, And VoLTE
-
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the so called 4th Generation (4G) mobile standard in the rapidly evolving mobile technologies. Its distinguishing feature is an all IP infrastructure and significantly greater air interface bandwidth to the mobile handset. It was developed as an enhancement to the existing 3G UMTS System (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) to provide users enhanced mobile radio and internet access.

T3/E3, OC3/OC12, & STM1/STM4 Testing
-
T3 E3 Analysis software compliments the hardware and supports simultaneously monitoring up to 12 x T3 E3 lines (2x Rack units) for all alarms, frame errors, signalling and data. If one adds the Channelized T1 Analyzer software to the system, then the T1s within the T3s can also be analysed in software, 12 x T3 E3 lines (=12*28 T1s) constituting 336 full duplex T1s, or 672 simplex T1s monitored simultaneously using a single Rack unit.

T1 E1 Testing
-
T1/E1 carriers are used extensively throughout the world for carrying large volumes of call containing both voice and data. Their popularity can be attributed to their high reliability, manageability and flexibility. The available digitized channels, 24 for T1 and 32 for E1 can be used for carrying voice and/or data. Further, the carriers can be used separately or they can be combined in order to provide higher transmission bandwidth.

VoIP Testing
VQuad™
-
Testing on the extreme end-point of a VoIP softphone network has become a priority for many service providers. This method of testing represents what an end user is actually experiencing. Voice quality testing within VoIP networks is growing; a major concern is testing VoIP softphones that will be used with VoIP networks. GL’s VQuad™ with VoIP option along with Voice Quality Testing (VQT PESQ) software provides the ability to perform manual or automated Wideband audio tests using HD codecs on the VoIP network.
