GL Conveys the Availability of its Product PacketScan™ - A Tool for Monitoring Live IP, VoIP, and IP Based Video Traffic(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Gaithersburg, Maryland (PRWEB) April 25, 2012 GGL 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 PacketScan™ software. Speaking to media persons, Mr. Karthik Ramalingam Senior Manager of the company said, ” PacketScan™ is a powerful software tool that features real-time capture and monitoring of live IP, VoIP, and IP based Video traffic: ·Segregates, captures, and collects statistics on VoIP calls (H323, SIP, MEGACO, MGCP, T.38, and others), ·monitors QoS (quality of service) on voice and video calls, ·permits analysis of adherence to protocol standards for the system under test or observation, ·provides graphical presentation of analysis, including ladder diagrams of protocols Hundreds of calls can be monitored in real-time including detailed analysis of selected voice band streams. Applications include testing of IP phones, Gateways, IP Routers and Switches, and Proxies.” He added, ”Users can listen/record audio and video data of a session in real-time; perform power, frequency, spectral, tone and digit analysis, and video analysis with ease and precision; get an exact picture of QoS (quality of the service). Its ability to monitor / record audio and video data of a session to files (in QuickTime *.qt format), allows user to perform powerful video analysis. The captured VoIP calls can play-back video using 3rd party VLC Viewer application. The application is capable of displaying Video Statistics such as Source/Destination Video Channels, Media Type, SSRC, Total Packet Counts, Missing Packets, Duplicate Packets and Out of sequence Packets, Average Delay/Gap, Video Frame Count, Frame rate, Media Delivery Index (MDI- (Delay Factor: Media Loss Rate)), and Average MDI for each video session.” Mr. Ramalingam further added, “What sets apart PacketScan™ is its ability to collect vital statistics about calls for theoretically infinite time. The ability of PacketScan™ to capture data is limited only by the hard disk capacity of the PC. It can work with PacketScanWEB™, a central monitoring system for a comprehensive view of network performance. It features rich graphics, ladder diagrams and CDRs (Call Detail Records)."

Unlike conventional test equipment, GL's test platforms provide visualization, capture, storage, and convenient features like portability, remotability, and scripting. GL’s TDM Analysis & Emulation line of products includes T1, E1, T3, E3, OC-3, OC-12, STM-1, STM-4, analog four-wire, and analog two-wire interface cards, external portable pods, and complete system solutions. Capabilities include voiceband traffic analysis and emulation across all traffic types (voice, digits, tones, fax, modem), all protocols (ISDN, SS7, GR-303, Frame Relay, HDLC, V5.X, ATM, GSM, GPRS, LTE, etc.), and with capacities up to thousands of channels. Our newest products provide astonishing capacity and capture capability up to and including gigabit speeds. GL’s VoIP and IP products generate / analyze thousands of calls and traffic simultaneously with traffic types such as frames, packets, voice files, digits, video, tones, noise, and fax. Almost 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 also 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 (VQT) product line complements all of GL's products. Using ITU-standard algorithms (PAMS, PSQM, and PESQ), GL's VQT provides a widely accepted solution for assessing voice quality in the telecom industry. Voice Quality Testing across multiple networks (T1, E1, T3, E3, OC-3, OC-12, VoIP, Wireless, and Landline) is available. GL’s Wireless Products perform protocol analysis and voice quality assessment on GSM, CDMA, UMTS, and LTE networks.
