the probe calculates a variety of quality metrics (MOS,
loss, delay, jitter, etc) and sends the metrics to the
central Oracle database for storage. This data can then be
accessed in real-time from anywhere in the world
through NetSurveyorWeb™.
The PacketScan™ is a feature-robust Windows® based
software probe that captures and monitors live IP traffic.
In the VoIP world, it can monitor and measure SIP, H323,
Megaco, MGCP, SCCP, Diameter, T.38 fax, and video calls.

GL offers an End-to-End 2G and 2.5G GSM GPRS Communications Network Lab (CNL) with all components such as
Base Station, RF channel, GSM core network elements such as BSC, MSC, and GPRS core elements such as SGSN,
HLR, and GGSN to support mobile call and traffic emulation.
One can setup a complete virtual real-time network simulating all the network elements, or any of the network
elements in the above architecture can be replaced with user's DUT to perform single interface, multi-interface, or
wrap-around testing. Complex scenarios such as handovers can be achieved easily.
The lab system can operate with real mobiles, or optionally, with a simulator such as GL’s TRAU Testing Solution.
Simulate multiple instances of nodes in network such as MSC, BSS, SGSN, and GGSN to perform functional and load/
stress testing.
