GL Communications Inc. has introduced a test platform for high speed OC-3/OC-12 and STM-1/STM-4 analysis and emulation.
Called SonetExpert, the test and measurement platform is a USB-based hardware platform capable of OC-3/OC-12 and STM-1/STM-4 wire-speed processing on optical ports meant for SONET/SDH channelized data carrying many independent unframed/framed T1 and E1 streams.
The platform includes hardware and software for capturing, monitoring, emulating and analyzing protocols over SONET-SDH links. The platform also supports direct access to all 336 T1 or 252 E1 channels on an OC-12/STM-4 line for analysis and simulation all in a single PC.
Additionally, the SonetExpert hardware platform is capable of OC-3/OC-12 and STM-1/STM-4 wire-speed processing on two optical ports meant for SONET/SDH channelized data carrying many independent T1 or E1 streams.
