Jan, 2002 : GL Communications Unveils Five Products at ComNet

📅 January 30, 2002 - Yesterday at ComNet, GL Communications Inc. announced five new testing and analysis products for the telecommunicationsmarket.

The new products GL Communications is offering include:
Network Surveyor - The GL Net Surveyor uses an open, three-tier,distributed architecture driven by non-intrusive hardware probes,intelligent software, and a database engine. The architecture consists of ascalable system, so the user can use it for multiple sites and variousapplications. T1/E1/T3 Probes are deployed in the field to monitor variousprotocols and conditions, which are then collected at a central site into adatabase. Data records are stored in a relational database (Oracle, DB2,Sybase, Microsoft Access, etc.) using ODBC. Various Client applications canbe written (in VB, Power Builder, etc.) to interrogate database records andprovide a user-friendly interface for query and display.Analog Test Set With Voice Quality Assessment - GL's Test Setprovides the analog, two-wire interface (RJ-11) along with the voice qualitymeasurement and analysis tools required to assure clear voice. Typicalnetwork applications include VoIP, PSTN, ATM, frame relay and wirelessnetworks. GL's VQA uses the PAMS, PSQM and PESQ algorithms, simultaneously.Digital Central Office Switch Simulator And Bulk Call Generator(DCOSS) Version 4.3 - GL's DCOSS Version 4.3 upgrades and enhances severalmajor areas, including support for up to 16 digital trunks and 48 analogtelephones. DCOSS performs load testing using realtime fax calls, modemtraffic and voice files and provides quality testing for each. DCOSS routingcapabilities include phone routing and switch routing. The DCOSS solutionoffers routing capabilities that allow the DCOSS to act as a true centraloffice switch that can accept a call from one protocol, i.e. ISDN, andswitch the call out using a different protocol, i.e. SS7. GL's VQT isaccomplished using PAMS, PSQM and PESQ standards. Remote access capabilityis achieved via Client/Server architecture. T1 CAS, GR-303, SS7 enhanced toinclude TCAP functionality, SS5, R1 and 18 types of R2 are supported.GR-303 Protocol Analyzer - GL's Protocol Analyzer software has anintuitive user interface, allowing customers to be up and running quickly.Layer 3+ Filtering and Search can isolate specific frames from all otherframes in realtime or offline. The Capture feature, limited only by the sizeof the hard disk, includes a playback option. The distributed architectureallows multiple protocol and analyzer probes to be connected together to acentral, relational database using ODBC, and an Export feature allows dataexchange to desktop applications for further analysis. Multiple T1/E1s, n X64 kbps and sub-DSO data rates are supported.SA Bits Protocol Analyzer - The Protocol Analyzer performs HDLCanalysis on E1 time slot 0, in realtime and off-line, using saved files. Therealtime mode of operation is used to capture a stream of HDLC frames on theselected even or odd frames of the E1 multi-frame on time slot 0. Capturedinformation can be saved to disk for later off-line analysis. Both realtimeand off-line analysis present a summary view and a detailed view of HDLCdecode information.
