TelcoBridges Inc. is best known for its platforms, which help telecom developers and integrators build turnkey solutions such as media gateways.

 

Probably not as widely understood is the fact that TelcoBridges (News - Alert) leverages much of that same technology to deliver real-time network monitoring devices, which detect, filter, and record signaling and voice traffic. The company this week at ITEXPO West 2009 unveiled new iterations of these tools, which can enable service providers to do next-generation network monitoring, support lawful intercept and deliver location-based services applications.  

 

The new Tmonitor TM2000 and Tmonitor TM3000 follow in the footsteps of the earlier-announced Tmonitor TM1000 platform. All provide high-capacity, non-intrusive full-duplex monitoring, filtering, and analysis of network traffic, such as SS7 or ISDN signaling, at line speed.

 

What’s new is that the TM2000 quadruples the data capture capacity of the TM1000 (increasing the number of HDLC controllers from 512 to 2,048), while maintaining the ability to monitor up to 64 T1/E1/J1 connections. The TM3000, meanwhile, offers OC3/STM-1 support in place of T1/E1/J1 connections and includes dedicated voice-recording capacity. Multiple TM2000 or TM3000 devices can be clustered together.

 

According to Marc St-Onge, sales support director for TelcoBridges, these solutions are unique in the market because they offer such great capacity that they can be used to monitor a whole network affordably.
