Important features added to the RTP ToolBox™ are:

  • For G711 appendix 2, now the user can generate both power and spectral information for SID packets
  • NAT address  - If there is no NAT address or not specified, now the address can be specified "0.0.0.0" as default NAT address. Supported NAT address in both RTB GUI and CLI
  • There is a feature now to solve payload mismatch in Profiles

Some of the other features include:

  • Testing and developing enhanced voice features (VAD, Echo Cancellation, Codec, Digit Regeneration, Digit Generation, Fax over IP, Jitter Implementation etc) within end-user equipment (IP Phones, ATA, MTA etc)
  • End-to-End network testing before and during VoIP deployment
  • Testing media gateway telephony interfaces
  • Voice Quality Testing in VoIP
  • Automated testing of Digital Signal Processing embedded into network elements

For comprehensive information on the product, please refer to RTP ToolBox™ web page.


PacketGen™

The product is based on a distributed architecture, wherein SIP and RTP software cores can be modularly stacked in one or many PCs to create a scalable high capacity test system.

The application has been enhanced with the following new features:

  • New Codec Support with an enhanced script editor  
  • Reliable Provisional Responses (RPR)
  • Digit Detection Qualifications
  • Option to turn on/off sending outband digits information in signaling

Significant Enhancements:

  • RTP Script Editor Changes
  • Command Line Interpreter.
  • Option to set EVRC Packing Format (Using INI File)

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, STM-1, 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, etc.), and with capacities up to thousands of channels.

GL’s VoIP products generate / analyze thousands of calls simultaneously with traffic types such as voice files, digits, video, tones, noise, and fax using G.711, G.729, AMR, EVRC, GSM and a range of other codecs. Additional features include visual analysis, real-time listening, and recording. The product line also includes a Software Ethernet Testing capability that checks frame transport and throughput parameters of Ethernet and IP networks.

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 excepted solution across the telecom industry. Voice Quality Testing across multiple networks (T1/E1/T3/E3/OC-3, VoIP, Wireless, Landline, etc.) are all available.

GL’s Wireless Products perform protocol analysis and voice quality assessment on GSM, CDMA and UMTS networks. Connections can be made to any wireless phone with automated call control, GPS mapping and real-time signal measurements.

GL’s Echo Canceller testing solutions provide the broadest range of simulation and analysis, including compliance testing per G.168 and G.160 across TDM, IP, VoIP and Wireless networks. GL’s wirelss VQT solutions help assessing impairments to voice quality such 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.

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 almost any interface, including RS232, RS422 / RS530, 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 intelligence. Centralized or distributed access, efficient transport and database loading allow compatibility with 3rd party and standards based monitoring systems.
