LTE network monitoring and testing

LTE Network Monitoring Solution

PacketScanWeb is an easy-to-use web browser client. When PacketScan? probes or PacketProbes? are distributed in the IP network, users can remotely monitor the entire IP network through PacketScanWeb?. Once the monitored call is completed, the probe can calculate various quality metrics (MOS, loss, delay, jitter, etc.) and send them to the central database for storage.

PacketScanWeb can access this data in real time from any location. At the same time, PacketScanWeb can customize and filter historical data and generate various reports and graphics to summarize the health status of the entire network.

PacketScan is a multi-functional Windows®-based software tool that monitors and captures active IP traffic.

In VoIP networks, SIP, H323, Megaco, MGCP, T.38 and video calls can be measured and monitored. In wireless networks, 2G, 3G, 4G protocols such as GSM, UMTS, GPRS, SIGTRAN, LTE can be monitored over IP networks.
