Dual UTA HD : HD Audio and Versatile Testing Capabilities

Ideal for Mobile Phones, Bluetooth® Devices, Mobile Radios, POTS Lines, and Analog Interfaces

Overview

GL offers next generation Dual UTA HD hardware unit, which supports all the interfaces and telephony devices as that of Dual UTA unit in a smaller (compact) design, with most of the interfaces on front of the board. The Dual UTA HD is more compact than the previous Dual UTA and includes HD (WB) audio on all interfaces. The latest VQuad™ release also supports both the legacy Dual UTA (v.1) along with the next generation Dual UTA HD (v.2) connected to the same system simultaneously. Up to 12 fully independent devices can run simultaneously on each VQuad™ node, with multiple VQuad™ nodes running in unison for virtually unlimited capacity.

Additionally, the Dual UTA HD (v.2) includes support for testing HD voice using Bluetooth® Wideband, and FXO Wideband along with hardware loopback controlled through the VQuad™ software (including self-test mechanisms). Dual UTA HD hardware also includes Self-Test LED, GPS connect LED, enhanced flexibility added to the VQuad™ Script, and full IPV6 support.

The Dual UTA HD has two independent sides, Side 1 and Side 2. Each side is used to interface with a different network or endpoint. For example, Side 1 could be used to connect to a Bluetooth with 5G mobile, while Side 2 could be used to connect to a analog phone.

As many as 6 Dual UTA HD units can be connected to single GL's VQuad™ software application, simplifying the end-to-end testing of voice, data, video quality, Echo & Delay measurements, and FAX in variety of networks, including Wireless (Bluetooth®, Wi-fi, 3G, 4G, LTE, PTT Mobile Radio), VoIP, Analog, and TDM, practically allowing any end-point interfaces.

Enhanced VQuad™ with Dual UTA HD supports two methods of automated testing of mobile devices, Bluetooth and Wired Headset using GL’s new cable, Smartphone with Automated Call Control (ACC). Through the VQuad™ script (or manual operation), calls can be setup and send messages using iPhone SIRI or Android Google Voice available on mobile devices. VQuad™ includes Text-to-Speech technology for automatically creating the necessary voice prompts required to work with Siri or Google Voice.

Dual UTA HD Connections

Front Panel

Dual UTA HD Front Panel with all suported interfaces

  • FXO Jack: This RJ-11 jack gives the Dual UTA HD the ability to act as a telephone. This is a 2-Wire POTS interface that allows users to place calls, answer calls and utilize all of the Dual UTA’s voice quality and delay features.

  • Push-to-Talk (PTT) with LEDs - Side 1 & 2: For use with radios that requires activation of a push-to-talk function to transmit or receive audio signals. There are two RJ-45 Jacks (PTT) one for each side of Dual UTA HD. The RJ-45 jack is connected to the software-controlled relay internal to the Dual UTA HD. When PTT is active (PTT LED on), pins 4 & 7 are shorted. A single RJ-45 PTT port includes the TX/RX 4 wires along with 2 wires for PTT operation (keying radio on/off). 

    PTT LEDs: When illuminated indicates that the PTT function is active. The active state indicates that the radio has been placed in transmit mode. Conversely, the inactive state (LED off) indicates the radio is in receiving mode.

  • Trigger (TRG) LED: When illuminated indicates that a Round-Trip Delay (RTD) or One-Way Delay (OWD) pulse has been detected. This LED may also illuminate momentarily when connecting or disconnecting audio lines.

  • In Jack: This 3.5 mm jack provides a balanced Audio In port. This jack can connect to a wide variety of the network interfacing equipment. Multiple impedance options are also available with this input.

  • Out Jack: This 3.5 mm jack provides a balanced Audio Out port. This jack can connect to a wide variety of the network interfacing equipment. Multiple impedance options are also available with this output.

  • Handset (HSET) Jack: This RJ-22 jack is used with handset-type phones. Connect the curly cord of the handset to this jack. 

  • Monitor Jack: This 3.5 mm output jack (stereo miniature phone type) provides for connection of a headset or amplified speakers to monitor the Audio In/Out signals on all interfaces.

  • Power LED: When illuminated indicates the Dual UTA HD is receiving power and is ready to operate. The Dual UTA HD is powered from the USB bus.

  • Side: The Dual UTA HD contains a Side 1 and Side 2. These sides are completely independent of each other, so Mobile Phone Network Testing could be setup on Side 1 while FXO Network Testing could be happening on Side 2.

    Back Panel

    Dual UTA HD Back Panel with all suported interfaces


  • GPS (In): RJ-45 Input jack from external GPS receiver. The Dual UTA HD uses location and time to provide additional information to the user. The one pulse-per-second GPS input will allow 1 ms accurate one-way and round-trip-delay measurement.

  • GPS (Out): (RJ-45 Output jack) The Dual UTA HD allows the GPS received data on the GPS (In) port to be transmitted out the GPS (Out) port. This enables a single GPS receiver to provide data to multiple Dual UTAs.

  • USB 2.0 Type B Jack: Communications and power interface connection. Connect to the computer USB port directly or through a USB hub.

  • Bluetooth® (BT): The Dual UTA HD has Bluetooth® built in, which allows users to connect to Bluetooth® enabled devices. This provides call control (control of phones calling/answering functions) as well as the ability to send/record audio in/out of these devices.

  • PPS: (GPS PPS Yellow/Green LED) When illuminated indicates that the GPS function is active. The active state indica

    tes that the GPS has been placed in transmit mode. Conversely, the inactive state (LED off) indicates the GPS is in receiving mode.

  • LCK: Programmable LED

  • GND: Terminal block for ground connection

Test Bluetooth® Enabled Mobile Devices and Associated Network

As a new feature of the Dual UTA HD Bluetooth® option, and using special firmware, the Dual UTA HD can act as the Mobile Device and connect to any Bluetooth® headset to perform ‘Voice Quality Tests’ on the Bluetooth® Headsets. In other words, isolate the Bluetooth® headset for voice quality analysis.

This is extremely important for testing Bluetooth® headsets, Bluetooth® in the car, and pretty much any Bluetooth® device which connects to a mobile phone for voice. The Dual UTA HD connects to the Bluetooth® headset and allows voice quality analysis along with delay measurements. Both narrowband and wideband codecs are supported.

24-Port VQuad™ HD Analog Phone Simulator

VQuad™ 24-port HD FXO solution is an all-in-one 2U rack supporting both Wide Band (WB) and Narrow Band (NB) Audio. The 2U VQuad™ HD FXO system incorporates two embedded SBCs (Single Board Computer), each running latest VQuad™ software, along with 12 Dual UTA HD units supporting a total 24 FXO Analog ports. All 24 FXO ports are independent and can be fully automated or remote controlled for a fully autonomous test solution. Access to the 24 Analog ports is via an Amphenol connector on the back of the system which can be broken out to 24 RJ11 connections. Each embedded SBC includes two Gigabit Ethernet connections, two USB connections, and a VGA monitor connection. LED lights on the front of the 2U Rack display status of each SBC along with each Dual UTA HD.

Multiple VQuad 24-Port FXO Racks can be connected together for virtually unlimited FXO ports. When combined with the WebViewer Central System all results and events can be saved directly to a Central Database and accessed using the WebViewer (direct access to the database tables is also available). Analysis is provided using GL Voice Quality Analysis (both POLQA and PESQ supported), Echo Measurement Utility (EMU), Fax Analysis, and Voice Band Analyzer (VBA).

  • Supports 24 independent HD FXO ports per VQuad™ system (2U)
  • Scalable solution for unlimited number of FXO ports
  • Wide Band (WB) and Narrow Band (NB) support (for HD and SD Audio)
  • Multiple Users and Tests per system
