Bengaluru, Karnataka, GL Communications Inc. announced today the release of an enhanced PacketScanWeb™. A real-time network monitoring system for VoIP networks. Speaking to the press, Mr. Vijay Kulkarni, CEO of the company said, "PacketScan™ is a powerful tool that captures live IP traffic, and segregates into SIP, H323, Megaco, or MGCP type calls. Hundreds of calls can be monitored in real-time including detailed analysis of selected voice band streams". He added, "PacketScanWeb™ is a network monitoring extension of PacketScan™, wherein multiple PacketScans monitor and provide statistics to a central database. With PacketScanWeb™, users can assess in real-time various network wide statistics using a simple web based interface".
Mr. Kulkarni, further added, "Using any browser-capable-device, a user can access the network status and call details from anywhere in the world. The application also provides various statistics such as, Probe Name, Calling/Called Number, Start Time, Call Duration, Session Request Delay (ms), Session Disconnect Delay (ms), Originating IP Address, and Destination IP Address".
He added, "Reports view provides an overall summary of the captured packet traffic over the entire network with the help of useful graphs such as Call Volume Display, Average Mean Opinion Score (MOS) Display, Call Completion Ratio, Call Failure Cause, Session Request Delay (SRD), Failed Calls Display, Calls Answered Display, and Average Paid Minutes Display".

Notes to Editor
About GL Communications Inc.
Founded in 1986, GL Communications Inc. is a leading supplier of test, monitoring, and analysis equipment for TDM, Wireless, IP and VoIP networks. Unlike conventional test equipment, GL test platforms provide visualization, capture, storage, and convenient features like portability, remotability, and scripting.
GL 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 VoIP and IP products generate / analyze thousands of calls / traffic simultaneously with traffic types such as frames, packets, 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 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 Voice Quality Testing (VQT) product line complements all of GL products. Using ITU-standard algorithms (PAMS, PSQM, and PESQ), GL VQT provides a widely excepted solution across the telecom industry. Voice Quality Testing across multiple networks (T1, E1, T3, E3, OC-3, VoIP, Wireless, and Landline) are all available.
GL 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 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 wireless 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 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, RS-422, RS-530, X.21, T1, E1, T3, E3, and many others.
GL 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.
