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

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.

OC-3/STM-1 And OC-12/STM-4 Analysis And Emulation Card(w/ GigE And USB 2.0)
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. GL's LightSpeed1000™ hardware platform (PCIe Card and USB Pod) is capable of OC-3/12 and STM-1/4 wire-speed processing on quad optical ports for functions such as wire-speed recording and wire-speed playback of Unchannelized and Channelized ATM, PoS, and RAW Traffic.

Voice Quality Solutions
Communications is dramatically changing right now, as “mobility” and “IP” technologies such as LTE, Advanced LTE, WiMax, 3G, and Broadband Internet, lead this transformation. As these technologies are rolled out, basic voice/video/data quality will ultimately determine the fate of carriers and end equipment manufacturers. Simple and effective methods of testing voice, video, and data are sorely needed - GL’s Voice, Video, and Data Quality Test Solution provides this flexibility of connecting to and between any network, any service, and any interface.

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.

Voice Monitoring
VOIP Echo
*The Voice Band Analyzer (VBA) is an analysis tool for monitoring the quality of voice band traffic (including hybrid echo) over VoIP, TDM and wireless networks*VBA works in conjunction with GL's TDM, Packet, and Wireless non-intrusive capture products, such as T1 and E1 Call Capture and Analysis, VoIP PacketScan&trade, and GSM, CDMA, and 3G Call Capture Products. VBA instantly detects voice file captures and with appropriately installed analysis modules, monitors speech levels, noise levels, and hybrid echo. Other analysis modules such as ITU-T P.561, P.562, P.563, fax and modem analysis, and many others can be hosted as plug-ins.*The VBA application can also operate on pre-captured files. It supports A-Law, µ-Law, 16-bit PCM (Intel), 16-bit PCM (Motorola) and MS Wave file formats.*Required software PKV100 and VBA032 at each probe location and PKV170 PacketScanWEB - Network Surveillance Software*Required hardware - 1U rack PC with sufficient hard disk for capturing over 10,000 calls (80 GB HD) for each VBA colocated with a probe*Additional hardware - PC for PKV100 PacketScan™ Software
