Industry leader in broadband access analysis adds DOCSIS 3.0 to its portfolio
RA'ANANA, Israel, November 8, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
TraceSpan(TM) Communications, a leader in broadband analysis and
monitoring solutions, announced today the release of DOCSIS Xpert(TM) 5300,
a unique passive multi-layer real-time analyzer for DOCSIS 3.0 equipment and
networks.
DOCSIS Xpert(TM) is a powerful protocol analyzer which provides full
visibility into the DOCSIS network and equipment, including detailed network
topology and complete and accurate analysis of DOCSIS product performance,
standard compliance and interoperability. It is designed for R&D, laboratory
and field application engineers engaged in the development, testing,
performance analysis and deployment of DOCSIS solutions. DOCSIS Xpert(TM)
captures and analyzes the signals without using any DOCSIS chipset and has
no effect on the data transfer between the CMTS and the CMs.
With its unique multi-layer probing capability, DOCSIS Xpert(TM)
provides comprehensive DOCSIS 3.0 PHY and MAC layer analysis from multiple
upstream and downstream bonded channels simultaneously. In addition, it
allows full view and analysis of the upper layers, ranging from Ethernet,
through network layer protocols such as IPv4 and IPv6, and up to application
layer protocols such as HTTP. As a user-friendly PC-controlled
software-based analyzer, DOCSIS Xpert(TM) presents multi-layer information
in a feature-rich and intuitive GUI that includes convenient displays,
graphs and tables.
"The cable industry has long been waiting for a multi-layer analysis
solution for DOCSIS 3.0", said Dr. Hanan Herzberg, TraceSpan founder and
CEO, "and TraceSpan has addressed this need by leveraging its rich
world-recognized telecom industry experience. DOCSIS Xpert(TM) is already
being evaluated by a number of MSOs and manufacturers and has so far
received excellent feedbacks".
The DOCSIS Xpert(TM) analyzer supports both DOCSIS 3.0 and EuroDOCSIS
3.0 as well as the legacy DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0. Its
uniqueness is in the variety of information that it can present, which
includes a detailed network topology graph; visibility and protocol analysis
from the DOCSIS MAC layer up to the application layer; and physical layer
analysis including PSD, MER power and constellation schemes. It can easily
correlate information among the physical layer, MAC layer and upper layer
protocols, thus allowing engineers to quickly and easily monitor and
troubleshoot their DOCSIS equipment and networks. Cutting significant time
from DOCSIS development, deployment, debugging, and interoperability
testing, DOCSIS Xpert(TM) accelerates time to market and return on
investment.
DOCSIS Xpert(TM) will be presented in the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo in the
Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA, USA, November 15th through
17th, 2011, booth #2567.
