TraceSpan Launches ADSL2+ Analyzer

For R&D and Lab Engineers

Industry’s first non-intrusive performance-analysis analyzer solution
for ADSL, ADSL2, and ADSL2+ interoperability testing

Ra’anana, Israel – June 17, 2004 – TraceSpan™ Communications, a provider of broadband monitoring solutions, today announced the release of its latest test equipment for ADSL2+ multi-layer analyzer. Leveraging patent-pending technology, DSL Xpert™ 2208A breaks new ground as the industry’s only non-intrusive performance-analysis solution for ADSL2+ / ADSL2 and ADSL products. DSL Xpert™ accelerates time to market and return on investment by cutting significant time from the development, deployment, debugging and interoperability verification of ADSL equipment.

DSL Xpert™ is an easy-to-use modular tool designed for R&D and laboratory engineers engaged in the deployment of ADSL2+ / ADSL2 and ADSL standard-compliant solutions. The innovative DSL Xpert™ analyzer verifies the interoperability of ADSL products offered by different vendors, and compares the performance of any combination of CO (central office) and customer-side modems (CPE). DSL Xpert™ is a powerful solution for service providers (telcos and CLECS), next-generation ADSL2+ equipment (e.g. DSLAM, DLC, modem, router/gateway) manufacturers, and technology and chipset developers.

“We are proud to announce the Launch of our newest DSL Xpert™ 2208A analyzer – our vendor-independent solution for ADSL interoperability testing,” said Dr. Hanan Herzberg, TraceSpan founder and CEO. “DSL Xpert™ 2208A is a PC-controlled hardware solution with a user-friendly GUI that presents multi-layer information in convenient displays. Using DSL Xpert™, lab personnel can quickly and easily verify compliance to standards and performance of ADSL2+ / ADSL2 and ADSL products, leading to rapid system deployment.”

DSL Xpert™ gives a complete and accurate analysis of ADSL product performance and interoperability without affecting data transfer between transceivers. With its unique multi-layer probing capability, DSL Xpert™  focuses on the physical layer and provides comprehensive analysis of data in different forms (e.g. analog samples, bits and sequences). DSL Xpert™ simultaneously presents downstream and upstream data and the connection between the two.

DSL Xpert™  2208A  for ADSL2+ is immediately available for orders. TraceSpan will demonstrate DSL Xpert™ 2208A at SUPERCOMM in Chicago, Illinois  on  June 22-24, 2004, North Hall (Hall B)  Booth #13320.
