Gaithersburg, MD (Vocus) May 8, 2009 -- GL Communications Inc. announced today the release of their new Dual Universal Telephony Adapter (Dual UTA) (http://www.gl.com/dual-uta.html) product. Announcing the news to the press, Mr. Matt Yost, Manager at GL said, "Our new Dual UTA is a versatile hardware/software device designed to interface to a variety of subscriber units including: 2-wire Analog Phones, Mobile Phones, Bluetooth™ Phones/Devices, Military Radios, VoIP phones, and 4-wire handsets." He added, "Used in conjunction with GL's VQuad™ software, the Dual UTA simplifies end to end testing of voice quality, echo, noise, and other impairments of TDM, VoIP, and Wireless networks. A GPS sync port permits precise synchronization of sending and receiving audio functions, one-way delay (OWD), and round trip delay (RTD)."
Mr. Yost further added, “The Dual UTA as the name implies provides two sides with identical functionality: Side 1 and Side 2. These sides are completely independent of each other so interfacing with endpoints of a single network or interfacing with two completely separate networks are practical scenarios."
The unit provides the following hardware interfaces:
•Mobile Phones
•Bluetooth™ - Works with all Bluetooth™ phones for both call control and send/record audio functions
•Audio Headset Jack - 2.5mm (typical)
•Mobile Radios with Push-to-Talk functionality: Provides radio keying and sends/records audio
•RJ-11 POTS lines: Detect dial tone, go off hook, CallerID detection, send digits (two stage dialing), answer calls, detect a variety of Special Information Tones (SIT), and much more as well as send/record audio for Voice Quality measurement
•Handset Phones: Replaces handset of any telephone (POTS, Digital, VoIP) that contains a coiled cord and handset
•Balanced I/O for connecting to a VoIP Softphone, Head and Torso Simulator (HATS), or any device supporting audio. Send/Record audio for Voice Quality measurements
Important Applications:
•Send/Record audio for Voice Quality Testing on all telecom networks including WideBand 16k Samples/sec
•One-way delay (OWD) measurements - collocated or geographically separated
•Network Round Trip Delay (RTD) measurements - collocated or geographically separated
•Echo measurement and analysis
•Acoustic echo canceller testing
•Automatic control of Push-to-talk phones/radios - key/unkey radio

DVI to Component Cable
A few people each day are looking for an interconnection solution by attempting to connect HDMI to Component outputs via a high-definition equipment cable line. But it's not simply a matter of straightening out your cables or buying a new type of wire. It has been found that a fundamental analog versus digital incompatibility problem exists which is identical to the growing digital broadcast TV switchover against your existing rabbit ears that accept signals from analog broadcasters. They are incompatible and hence tend to make people confused, just like the guy in the advertisements.
