  • Lightweight (less than 2 lbs) and small footprint (5" x 4" x 1.5")

  • The unit's lightweight and small footprint make it easy to carry in the pouch of a Notebook PC making it perfect for air travel. Compatibility with any Notebook PC allows the software to be installed on many PCs - just ship the unit to the intended location and use an available PC.

  • Hardware is capable of dual T1 and E1 interface (software selectable)

  • Two (2) port and four (4) port captures of T1 and E1 signals with one or two USB T1 E1 Analyzers connected to a single PC

  • Portability: Converts a Notebook or Desktop PC into a powerful T1 E1 test instrument

  • USB 2.0 interface for complete access to T1 E1 rate signals

  • Remote access and scripting: Install the unit and walk away! Use remote or scripting software to control or monitor the unit from anywhere. Any remote software such as VNC or PC anywhere will work. Or, use our powerful scripting software to automate and remote all data acquisition and processing functions.

  • Call Recording, Generation, and Monitoring for hundreds to thousands of calls in one platform

  • Windows® and Linux Drivers for Open Source Applications

Other Features

  • Compatible with Windows® XP , Vista and 7 operating systems and user friendly real-time software

  • It can perform analysis and emulation of various signal types including voice, digits, and tones; various protocols including HDLC, ISDN, SS7, CAS, Frame Relay, GSM, GPRS, CDMA, and UMTS.

  • It is capable of T1 or E1 PCM signal visualization, capture, storage, analysis, and emulation.

GL's offers other popular forms of T1 E1 analysis hardware such as Octal/Quad T1 E1 Analyzer Boards - 8/4 port PCIe based cards for higher scalability and performance, Portable USB T1 E1 Analyzer with Dual T1 E1 ports & smallest form factor, Universal T1 E1 Analyzer Boards - a dual port PCI based T1 E1 analyzer offering higher speed and smaller dimensions. Please call us for more information.


Accompanying Basic & Optional Software

The unit comes with basic software for basic testing needs and optional features that extend the capability far beyond the most expensive T1 E1 testers. For example: capturing and transmitting the entire raw T1 or E1 signal simultaneously on two full duplex ports, or performing ISDN emulation, or SS7 analysis, or analyzing echo and voice quality on voiceband channels.

A list of all the basic applications and other optional applications (requiring additional licenses) are listed here.
