*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.

Product
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.

Wireless 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.

IP Fax/ Modem Testing
-
To successfully deploy fax services requires extensive network design, test and traffic engineering. Test equipment can prove valuable in this process, if it can: Generate and receive fax signals in bulk over wired and wireless networks, monitor and distinguish fax signals in real time for traffic engineering and network design purposes, and analyze fax signals after capture for troubleshooting failed or poorly handled calls.

*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
