The TelcoBridges Tmonitor TM2000 is a high-capacity voice and data traffic monitoring solution that enables service providers to record and analyze signaling records and voice traffic, as well as optimize network performance and quality of service (QoS), while providing a foundation for new value-added offerings, such as location-based services (LBS).
Each Tmonitor TM2000 unit can perform non-intrusive, full-duplex monitoring and filtering of 64 T1/E1/JI interfaces per device at line-rate, providing up to 100% packet capture. Data captured by the TM2000 is then routed by TCP/IP to an application server where it can be analyzed and acted upon. In addition, PCM voice traffic can be recorded with the onboard IVR capabilities and TB StreamServer™, a utility application supplied by TelcoBridges.
Unlike a network-monitoring probe, the Tmonitor TM2000 does not affect the performance of the network or the status of a call, or introduce unwanted data artifacts. For cases where it is located immediately next to the network to be monitored, the TM2000 is designed to work with a purpose-built 32-port monitoring patch panel that features a high-impedance circuit to limit signal drain. For longer distances, TelcoBridges has designed an optional 16-port isolation patch panel, used in conjunction with the monitoring patch panel, which helps to maintain high-impedance resistance in the path to the monitoring equipment.
TelcoBridges also offers a lower capacity Tmonitor TM1000 for T1/E1/J1 connections as well as a higher capacity TM3000 for STM-1 connections.
Features & Benefits
Monitoring applications. In addition to recording and analyzing voice messages, generating and verifying call detail records (CDR), the TM2000 allows services providers to perform fraud detection, lawful interception, and location-based billing.
Carrier-grade performance. The Tmonitor TM2000 is a high volume monitoring solution, with 4 times as many HDLC controllers than the TM1000 and dedicated voice recording capacity. Multiple TM2000 devices and application servers can be clustered together in one or more facilities to provide essentially unlimited scalability. Application servers can also be deployed remotely for fully distributed monitoring.
Network monitoring flexibility. The Tmonitor TM2000 allows service providers to process and analyze all data captured in SS7, ISDN and HDLC packets and raw T1/E1/J1 traffic, as well as record up to 2048 simultaneous channels of voice traffic. It features highly configurable on-board packet filters so that only relevant information is captured from traffic streams and stored.
Non-intrusive. In order to maintain overall system performance and QoS, the TM2000 does not introduce latency or otherwise modify or alter the stream of communications. The TM2000 fully supports multi-vendor network architectures and requires no modification to existing communications equipment.
Use Cases
The TM2000 device can be applied to the following markets:
- Network monitoring
- Lawful intercept
- Location-based services
- SMS alerts to roaming subscribers
