The IneoQuest Singulus G10 is a hardware platform engineered for monitoring, analysis, generation, and testing of digital video IPTV networks operating at 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. This reconfigurable device switches between advanced development and troubleshooting modes or remote video monitoring via web interface. It delivers simultaneous analysis of multiple live IP video flows with deep packet inspection, generates up to 10 Gb of network traffic, and captures transport stream problems for laboratory investigation.
