| Product Overview The DOCSIS Xpert multi-layer real-time analyzer is a unique protocol analyzer for DOCSIS 3.0 products. DOCSIS Xpert is a modular innovative tool designed for R&D, laboratory and field application engineers engaged in the development, testing, performance analysis and deployment of DOCSIS standard-compliant solutions. Cutting significant time from DOCSIS development, deployment, debugging, and interoperability testing, DOCSIS Xpert accelerates time to market and return on investment. The innovative DOCSIS Xpert analyzer verifies the interoperability of DOCSIS products offered by different vendors, and indicates compliance of any combination of DOCSIS and Cable Modems to the DOCSIS standard. DOCSIS Xpert is a powerful tool for CATV operators / MSOs, equipment manufacturers and chipset developers. Following the overwhelming industry acceptance and tremendous success of the company’s field proven systems, the DSL Xpert, VDSL Xpert and GPON Xpert analyzers, the DOCSIS Xpert defines a class by itself by providing a complete and accurate analysis of DOCSIS product performance, standard compliance and interoperability without using any DOCSIS chipset. With its unique multi-layer probing capability, DOCSIS Xpert provides comprehensive DOCSIS 3.0 PHY and MAC layers analysis from multiple upstream and downstream bonded channels, simultaneously. In addition, the system allows a full view and analysis of the Upper Layers, such as Ethernet, IP (including IPv6) and TCP with the ability to export the data for further analysis. DOCSIS Xpert simultaneously presents downstream and upstream data of multiple bonded channels and the connection between the data transmitted by the CMTS and CMs. A user-friendly software-based analyzer controlled by a PC, DOCSIS Xpert has a feature-rich and intuitive GUI that presents multi-layer information in convenient displays, graphs and tables. As the only developer of xDSL passive protocol analyzers, TraceSpan gained worldwide recognition as an industry leader whose products are sought after and used by all major Broadband Access Providers, equipment manufacturers and chipset vendors.
