The tester has two 10Gbps optical ports and two 10/100/1000 Mbps electrical/optical ports capable of Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT), Smart Loopback, RFC 2544, Wirespeed Record and Playback, IP Link Simulation and Impairment Emulation (IPLinkSim) and Y.1564 (ExpertSAM) test functionalities.

The enhanced VQuad solution from GL Communications provides an automated method to test all types of data to and from the Smartphone, confirming performance, quality and reliability. With the introduction of GL’s NetTest a variety of data tests can be performed directly from the mobile device and controlled remotely from the VQuad script.

GL Communications has introduced enhanced SIGTRAN Protocol Analysis and Simulation tools. The SIGTRAN protocols are an extension of the SS7 protocol family, but carried over IP. A Signaling Gateway (SG) translates the SS7 TDM layers to SIGTRAN IP format. It supports the same application and call management functions as SS7 but uses two protocol layers on top of Internet Protocol (IP): Stream Control Transport Protocol (SCTP) and M3UA MTP3 User Ad...

GL Communications has released comprehensive Ethernet and IP Test Solutions using its PacketExpert product. GL's PacketExpert is a comprehensive portable (USB based) Quad Port Ethernet Tester with four Electrical Ethernet ports.  Twoof the four ports can be Electrical or Optical, enabling testing on optical fibre links as well.
