Direct Access To T1 E1 DS0 On OC-3/12 STM-1/4 On LightSpeed1000™
Voice, data, and video traffic is exploding as smartphones, IP TV, video streaming, and "cloud" based services takeoff. A majority of the backbone transport for these applications continues to be SONET and SDH optical transmission networks. A dominant protocol for IP transport is PoS (Packet over SONET) and another is ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode). Both schemes are packet based, with ATM using fixed size packets of 53 bytes called "cells", and PoS using variable packet sizes closely matching to Ethernet frames.

Multi-Interface TDM, Optical, And Packet/IP Rackmount & Probe Test Platforms
mTOP™
Most equipment manufacturers and large enterprises prefer rack-based test tools as they are compact and higher density form factor solution for testing, monitoring, and troubleshooting network conditions. GL’s Multiple TDM Optical and Packet (mTOP™) rack enclosure can house any combination of USB based test equipment which are easily deployed and securely fixed to an equipment rack to provide extraordinary scalability to test switches, routers and end-to-end networks. These rack based platforms incorporates the basic test unit along with the necessary PC hardware, Windows® 10 64-bit operating system and remote accessibility via scripting and remote desktop. There are no moving parts with the unit, so reliability and longevity are integral. GL’s latest mTOP™ Probe stand-alone hardware variant is an all-in-one self-contained test instrument. The mTOP™ Probe can include any of the multiple TDM Optical and Packet interfaces USB device combined with the PC into one single box. The comprehensive mTOP™ Probe hardware unit is designed for easier portability and convenient for field testing which incorporates the testing features for multiple interfaces along with necessary PC hardware in a single box. GL’s USB based test equipment - PacketExpert™ (Ethernet), tProbe™ (T1/E1), USB T3/E3 (TDM), Dual UTAs (Analog/Wireless), and LightSpeed1000™ (SONET SDH) to support multiple interfaces in a compact rack space or included in a portable Probe unit.
