Europe : The NetHawk M5 provides simultaneous 2G, 2.5G and 3G protocol analysis in a powerful all-in-one test platform. Its multi-interface call trace enables operators and vendors of multi-technology networks to correlate in real-time data from different interfaces and localise sources of failure in the shortest possible time. Thanks to the automatic configuration feature of the NetHawk M5 protocol analyser, time-consuming setup is no longer necessary. Monitoring parameters are configured completely automatically in all interfaces ( including e.g. Iub and Abis ) and testing can be started immediately.

The NetHawk M5 is designed to analyse test scenarios with high data capture rates and heavy load conditions. New HW with powerful onboard pre-processors are introduced for increased capturing performance and line interface capacity. With its filtering and statistical KPI functions it is a very powerful tool for operators’ live networks as well as manufacturers’ pilot networks and load testing environments. State-of-the-art transmission technologies including IMA, Channelised STM-1 and STM-4 are also supported.

The NetHawk M5 introduces a totally new distributed concept of monitoring. You can connect several NetHawk M5 Analysers together, covering a large monitoring scenario with Remote Control Capability. In the distributed monitoring setup, a cluster of analysers can be easily controlled remotely as one single logical analyser, while having the performance of several analysers filtering and processing data. With this functionality, the NetHawk M5 offers the easiest and most economical solution for covering a large monitoring scenario. The NetHawk M5 can be delivered and installed on a portable rugged industrial PC, desktop PC or laptop PC. You can also use your own existing PC.

“An understanding of the customer’s needs combined with the most innovative way of implementing new functionality and features has always been NetHawk’s strength. This new test platform is designed for mobile multi-technology networks and it provides more performance, more line capacity, more flexibility, more detailed results and more simplicity of usage,” says Mr. Hannu Huttunen, CEO of NetHawk Group. “With this great new functionality we are welcoming new customer segments. Nevertheless, we have also kept our present users in mind and created a smooth upgrade evolution path from our present platform to the NetHawk M5 Multi-Analyser.”
