TraceSpan Launches DSL Xpert™ ADSL Multi-Layer Analyzer

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

Ra’anana, Israel – April 1, 2003 – TraceSpan™ Communications, a provider of broadband monitoring solutions, today announced the release of the DSL Xpert™ multi-layer analyzer. Leveraging patent-pending technology, DSL Xpert™ breaks new ground as the industry’s only non-intrusive performance-analysis solution for ADSL and ADSL2 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 ADSL/ADSL2 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. DSL Xpert™ is a powerful solution for service providers (telcos and CLECS), current and next-generation ADSL equipment (e.g. DSLAM, DLC, modem, router/gateway) manufacturers, and technology and chipset developers.

“We are proud to announce the Launch of DSL Xpert™ – our vendor-independent solution for ADSL interoperability testing,” said Dr. Hanan Herzberg, TraceSpan founder and CEO. “DSL Xpert™ 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 ADSL and ADSL2 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 any form. DSL Xpert™ simultaneously presents downstream and upstream data and the connection between the two.
