Press Release: GL Announces Enhanced
PacketScan™ Software

Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA - May 22, 2012- GL Communications Inc. announced today the release of enhanced PacketScan™ software, an Ethernet/IP/VoIP Traffic Analyzer.

Speaking to reporters, Mr. Karthik Ramalingam Manager Product Development of the company said, “PacketScan™ is a powerful software tool that features real-time capture of Ethernet, IP, VoIP, and IP based Video traffic with extensive analysis using graphs, and statistics. Some of the important applications of PacketScan™ are:

• Monitors live IPv4 and IPv6 networks,
• Segregates, captures, and collects statistics on VoIP calls (H.323, SIP, MGCP, Megaco, T.38, and many others),
• Monitors QOS (quality of service) on voice and video calls,
• Permits analysis of, and conformance to protocol standards for the system under test or observation,
• Provides graphical presentation of analysis, including ladder diagrams of protocols

And PacketScan™ can monitor, report, analyze, and capture calls for theoretically infinite time, limited only by the finite space of your hard disk or network hard drive.”

He added, “Users can listen/record audio and video data of a session in real-time; perform power, frequency, spectral, tone and digit analysis, and video analysis with ease and precision; get an exact picture of QoS (quality of the service).”

Mr. Ramalingam further added, “PacketScan™ can work with PacketScanWeb™ a central monitoring system for a comprehensive view of network performance. It features rich graphics, ladder diagrams, CDRs (Call Data Records), and compatibility with almost every voice CODEC.”

• Report Mid Call Digits
  Mid call outband digits detected on a call are now reported along with SIP signaling events in CSV
  reports.
