[SatNews] Introduced by GL Communications is their LightSpeed1000™ hardware platform (PCIe Card and USB Pod), which is…
…capable of OC-3/12 and STM-1/4 wire-speed processing on dual optical ports for functions such as wire-speed recording and wire-speed playback of ATM, PoS, RAW, and Ethernet Traffic. The LightSpeed1000™ comes with software for overall monitoring, BERT, emulation, and protocol analysis with a price tag that compares very favorably with similar test instruments at three times the price. Normally, the LightSpeed1000TM is used for protocol analysis of ATM, PoS, Raw unchannelized and unframed data, and Ethernet traffic at IP, UDP, and higher layers. The hardware can be easily configured / programmed for delaying of ATM Cells or PPP packets. The card’s multiple connectivity using PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet (GigE), USB 2.0 and onboard DDR2 memory makes it suitable for various applications.
Multiple cards are possible in a PC for analysis of four or more directions simultaneously. USB 2.0 interface is used to connect with a Notebook PC, Ethernet port for testingBER / RFC2544, SONET and Ethernet bridge, and so on. The analyzer card is built upon FPGA technology to upgrade it in the field. A unique feature of the card is the capability to capture, transmit and process at wirespeed to/from applications and hard disk on all interfaces. API Toolkit allows user to develop specialized applications.
