GL Conveys the Availability of its CDMA 2000 Protocol Analyzer Software

GL Communications Inc. a leader in providing PC-based test, analysis and simulation products and consulting services to the worldwide telecommunications industry, conveyed today the availability of its product CDMA2000 Protocol Analyzer software.

Speaking to media persons, Mr. Vijay Kulkarni CEO of the company said, "CDMA research has undergone many stages of revolution to offer improved voice and data service to the end users. In order to deliver both voice as then as data service with very high transmission rate, CDMA network has incorporated many new nodes and protocols with respect to old 2G or 2.5G networks."

·Supports decoding of Ethernet-based protocols, ATM based protocols, & HDLC based protocols. ·Allows customized filtering/searching of the captured data by setting various parameters just as VPI/VCI, Payload Type, MAC layer address, Frame length, IP address, Port number when all is said and done on based on the interfaces chosen. ·Displays Summary, Detail, Hex-dump, Statistics, and Call Trace Views, the contents of this view can as well be copied to clipboard. ·Call Detail Record View displays called/ calling number, released calls, call status, & more. ·Capability to export Summary View details to comma separated values format subsequent import into a database or spreadsheet. ·Capability to export detail decode information to an ASCII. ·Ability to edit.ini file to configure the A3 A7 IOS related parameters in order to get proper decoding of protocols across A3A7 interface. ·Supports simultaneous decode of multiple streams of CDMA traffic on different T1 E1 channels. ·Any protocol field can be added to the summary view, filtering, and search features providing users more flexibility to monitor required protocol fields. ·Remote monitoring capability using GL's Network Surveillance System

Founded in 1986, GL Communications Inc. is a leading supplier of test, monitoring, and analysis equipment for TDM, Wireless, IP and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) networks. Unlike conventional test equipment, GL's test platforms provide visualization, capture, storage, and convenient features like portability, remotability, and scripting.

GL's VoIP and IP products generate / analyze thousands of calls and traffic simultaneously with traffic types just as frames, packets, voice files, digits, video, tones, noise, and fax. Nearly all codecs are supported including G.711, G.729, AMR, EVRC-A,B,C, GSM, iSAC, and many more. Additional features include visual analysis, real-time listening, and recording. The product line as well includes Ethernet / IP Testing capability that simulates and checks frame transport and throughput parameters of Ethernet and IP networks, including delay, errors and other impairments.

GL's Voice Quality Testing product line complements all of GL's products. Using ITU-standard algorithms, GL's VQT provides a widely accepted solution for assessing voice quality in the telecom industry. Voice Quality Testing across multiple networks is available.

GL's Wireless Products perform protocol analysis and voice quality assessment on GSM, CDMA, UMTS, and LTE (Long Term Evolution, latest standard in the mobile network technology) networks. Connections can be made to any wireless phone with automated call control, GPS mapping and real-time signal measurements.

The broadest range of simulation

GL's Echo Canceller testing solutions provide the broadest range of simulation and analysis, including line and acoustic echo. GL's compliance testing per G.168. G.167 and P.340 across TDM, IP, VoIP and Wireless networks is widely accepted in the industry.

GL's wireless VQT solutions help assessing impairments to voice quality just as poor mobile phone quality, voice compression and decompression algorithms, delay, loss and gain in speech levels, noise, acoustic and landline echo, and other distortions are easily assessed and accurately measured.

Wide variety of communications facilities

GL's Handheld data testers can test a wide variety of communications facilities and equipment including T1, fractional T1, E1, fractional E1, T3 and E3 modems, multiplexers, CSU, DSUs, T1 CSUs, DTUs, NTUs and TIUs and more. The testers provide convenience, economy, and portability for nearly any interface, including RS232, RS-422, RS-530, X.21, T1, E1, T3, E3, and many others.

GL's Network Surveillance and Monitoring products include Probes for TDM, IP, VoIP, ATM, and Wireless networks. An open standards based approach provides a scalable, feature rich, real-time access to network characteristics. Centralized or distributed access, efficient transport and database loading allow compatibility with 3rd party and standards based monitoring systems.
