Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA (PRWEB) March 15, 2012

GL Communications Inc. a leader in providing PC-based test, analysis and simulation products and consulting services to the worldwide telecommunications industry, conveyed today the availability of its product DCME Protocol Analyzer software.

Speaking to the press, Mr. Vijay Kulkarni CEO of the company said, DCME testing, analysis and verification is easy with GL’s DCME Analyzer. The DCME Analyzer is a PC-based system (Desktop/Laptop) with GL’s Dual port USB E1 pod to connect non-intrusively to the bearer side of DCME equipment. Both real-time and post-processing of the bearer signal is possible. In real-time mode, the status of the bearer including synchronization, bearer loading, fax loading and other statistics are easily monitored. In post processing mode, the entire DCME bearer signal is captured to the PC’s hard disk using the available special E1 applications for recording. The captured file is then analyzed with the DCME software.

He added, In the DCME analysis software, the software aligns to the DCME frame, and the DCME control channel(s) are decoded. The data can be displayed to permit bit level analysis and verification of channel mapping and implementation timing of the DCME protocol. DCMEs use variable bit rate encoding to create overload channels to handle overload conditions. Bearer channels are randomly selected for rate reduction. The software identifies the bit mode of each overload and normal channel (4, 3 or 2 bits).

Mr Kulkarni further added, Additionally, the Facsimile Subframe analysis software permits bit level analysis and verification of fax data sub-multiplexing on the DCME output bearer signal. The DCME Analyzer software calculates the mapping and interleaving algorithms, FEC and permits time of implementation verification.

GL Announces Diameter Protocol Emulator for LTE

Gaithersburg, Maryland (PRWEB) June 26, 2012

GL Communications Inc. announced today the release of its latest product MAPS Diameter Protocol Emulator Scripted LTE Diameter S6a, S6d, Cx, Dx, Gx, and Rx Interfaces Emulation.

Speaking to reporters, Mr. Karthik Ramalingam, Manager of Product Development, said, The Diameter protocol is intended to provide a framework for Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) for applications such as network access, roaming, and IP mobility. AAA protocols are used to determine whether the user is allowed to connect to the network (Authentication) and use a particular service (Authorization). It is also used to track network resources used by end-user for accurate billing (Accounting).

AAA protocols such as TACACS and RADIUS were initially deployed to provide dial-up PPP and terminal server access. Over time, with the growth of the Internet and the introduction of new access technologies put new demands on AAA protocols, and as a result Diameter is a considerably more sophisticated protocol than RADIUS.

He added, Diameter protocol has been chosen as the AAA protocol in all next generation fixed and mobile IP- based networks (IMS, LTE). It is designed to support data, services, and applications with extreme flexibility and is expected to replace all legacy protocols such as MAP, LDAP, Radius, and others.

GLs general-purpose platform for emulation of protocols is Message Automation & Protocol Simulation (MAPS). Recently Diameter protocol for has been added to its wide range of emulation support. The MAPS Diameter gives the users the unlimited ability to edit S6a, S6d, Cx, Dx, Gx, and Rx interface messages to support various procedures such as Location Management, Subscriber Data Handling, Authentication, Fault Recovery, and Notification procedures over S6a interface and AA-Request/Answer, Re-Auth-Request/Answer, Abort-Session-Request/Answer, and Session-Termination-Request/Answer procedure over Rx interface.
