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.

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.

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

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.

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.

GL Products Online & Interactive Demos
*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.

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.
