GL Communications Inc., a global leader in telecom test and
measurement solutions, addressed the press regarding their advanced
all-IP network monitoring software - PacketScan™ which captures and
monitors live signaling and traffic over IP (IPv4 and IPv6). The
application can decode, segregate, and troubleshoot network
problems for all VoIP and Wireless protocols over IP networks.

Vijay Kulkarni, CEO of GL Communications, states, “GL’s
PacketScan™ software is a comprehensive tool for capturing,
categorizing, monitoring and collecting statistics on various IP
calls. This software excels at decoding VoIP and wireless
protocols, providing detailed Quality of Service statistics for
voice calls. PacketScan™ offers detailed insights into Wireless
protocols such as 5G, LTE, and IMS, allowing users to monitor live
conditions or analyze historical data to understand network
performance and operation. PacketScan™ can intelligently build call
detail records, save and playback voice calls, and visualize the
data.”
For high data rate traffic capture, GL Communications offers
PacketScan™ HD, a high-performance network monitoring appliance
capable of lossless packet capture over Ethernet/IP networks at
speeds up to 100 Gbps. This solution combines dedicated hardware
with specialized Network Interface Cards and PacketScan™ software
to ensure efficient packet captures.
PacketScan™ includes a Packet Data Analysis tool, allowing users
to monitor live IP or TDM networks, capturing, analyzing, and
reporting every phone call in detail. It also provides graphical
presentations of analysis, including ladder diagrams of call flows.
Captured data can be seamlessly transferred to GL's centralized
database and dashboard, NetSurveyorWeb™, which offers remote access
and analysis capabilities.
GL’s 5G Protocol Analyzer offers comprehensive monitoring
capabilities for 5G networks by capturing, decoding, and collecting
statistics over the N1N2, N4, N8, N10, N11, N12, and N13
interfaces, providing valuable insights into core network
performance and behavior. Featuring a user-friendly GUI, it allows
users to easily navigate, and view captured end-to-end signaling
traffic. The analyzer also supports a wide range of codecs,
including AMR WB, EVS, and OPUS, and generates detailed call
reports.
Additionally, GL's LTE Protocol Analysis captures and
monitors real-time signaling and traffic on LTE networks,
segregating, monitoring, and collecting statistics on all calls. It
can test eNodeB or UE over various interfaces, including S1, S3,
S4, S5 (or S8), S6a, S10, S11, S13, and X2.
