Enhanced T1 E1 Analyzer Software version 5.28

GL Communications Inc., supplier of test, monitoring, and analysis equipment for TDM, Wireless, IP and VoIP networks has announced recently the release of a software they have just developed— an enhanced T1 E1 Analyzer Software version 5.28 that offers new applications and enhancements such as analysis and emulation capabilities, and other features including Call Data Records (CDR) and Voice Band Analyzer (VBA), two applications that generates Call Summary and Call Detail reports.

According to, Mr. Vijay Kulkarni, CEO of the company, the T1 E1 Analysis suite of products “provides comprehensive analysis and emulation capabilities for voiceband analysis and signaling protocol analysis”. The Call Data Records (CDR) is an optional feature and works with CCA (Call Capture and Analysis). The CDR gives thorough information on each and every call occurring on T1 E1 lines. On the other hand, the Voice Band Analyzer is an analysis application that can host different analysis modules for monitoring speech and noise levels, line echo, and acoustic echo. It is used for monitoring voice band network traffic. It The VBA application can now be used from T1/E1 Analyzer - Special Applications menu or from command line.

Aside from these useful applications, this software also has some enhancements done in the MAPS - T1E1, Multiple Call Capture, Protocol Analyzer and Windows Client server and other programs. The software now also supports Vista and Windows 7.0 drivers for Universal Cards. Other changes they made includes making Bit Error Rate testing available in 56kbps mode on all T1 cards, having Traffic Classification to VBA, and many others.

Anritsu’s Handheld VNA Master MS2028B

Meet one of Anritsu’s latest test gears, the VNA Master MS2028B. Anritsu claims that it is broadest frequency, highest performance test solution for 2-port measurements in this industry. This gadget is evidently the first handheld VNA to be using a 12-term error correction algorithm.

The VNA Master MS2028B is made especially for complex cable and antenna measurement needs in the field with accurate, vector corrected 2-port magnitude, phase, and Distance-To-Fault measurements. This test equipment features two-active-port, fully-reversing VNA covering a frequency band from 5 kHz to 20 GHz, and a capacity to measure all four S-parameters with only a single connection and has a typical measurement speed of 750 µsec per point. Aside from that, it also includes a user -configured 4-quadrant display for up to four S-parameters, supports waveguide measurements, and SOLT, SSLT and SST calibrations. With its 3-receiver architecture, the MS2028B can measure all 4 S-parameters at once with a single connection to the DUT. Moreover, you won’t have to groan over repetitive tasks; with the VNA Master MS2028B you can just automate them by using Ethernet connector to a laptop.

This handheld analyzer has all these features and more, making it perfect for RF engineers and technicians working on installation and maintenance support for communication systems, and anyone who needed an excellent VNA test equipment.

As for the data it has a 2G memory storage capacity, thus it can store more than 4000 traces and setups, has a Secure Data Operation option for classified data and can also transfer data via USB or Ethernet, and has a memory card slot.

Technicians and engineers must have had it more difficult having to use the large bench-top test and measurement tools for troubleshooting and maintenance tasks. But VNA Master MS2028B is handheld, and as such it is more convenient to use. One more proof that smaller gears can be more reliable these days.
