TALAN 3.0 Telephone and Line Analyzer

TALAN 3.0 Telephone & Line Analyzer Feature Focus:

Complete and comprehensive solution for analyzing telephone & line systems

The TALAN 3.0 combines several countermeasure testing capabilities into a single piece of equipment, outperforming every other similiar type of tool. From digital multimeter functions to digital demodulation technology and audio analysis, frequency domain reflectometry, RF analysis & detection, and non-linear junction detection, it offers a complete and wide range of testing options in just one device. This versatility makes it suitable for various security applications, providing a one-stop solution for telephone line inspection and security, detecting if your phone systems have been turned in to easvesdropping devices or simply testing for vulnerabilies.

• Digital Multimeter Tests – Voltage, Current, Capacitance, and Resistance
• Digital Demodulation – Determines if a digital phone line is passing audio when it shouldn’t. Includes digital decoding capabilities for approx. 80% of the world’s digital phone systems, and can digitally demodulate 50+ codecs.
• Frequency Domain Reflectometer (FDR) – Finds impedence anomalies which can indicate a potential security threat. Also plots traces of multiple pairs for historical comparison on one display.
• Non-Linear Junction Detection (NLJD) on a Line – Detects electronic equipment connected to an isolated line or wire.
• High Gain Audio Amplifier and Built-in Audio Oscilloscope – Provides up to 80 dB of total system gain, features a DC Bias Voltage Generator
• RF Analysis and Detection – Broadband RF Probe checks free space RF energy up to 8 GHz. Spectrum Analyzer displays frequency spectrum details up to 85 MHz.

Automatic Switching Matrix switches all line pair combinatinations every test

The Automatic Switching Matrix is a core feature that sets the TALAN 3.0 apart. It enables the device to automatically switch through all possible combinations in a cable, performing multiple tests and storing results. This ensures a thorough and comprehensive inspection of telephone lines, identifying any irregularities or potential threats. By automating this process, it not only enhances accuracy but also significantly reduces the time required for manual testing, making it an invaluable feature for professionals.

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) Plus+ Analysis

With the rise of VoIP communication, the security of these lines has become crucial. The TALAN 3.0’s VoIP Plus+ Analysis captures and analyzes network streams, quickly identifying any unauthorized VoIP traffic. It collects data such as source and destination MAC/IP addresses, header type, number of total packets, packet rate, peak rate, and run time, to help you detect a VoIP phone system is passing data even if your phone is not in use. The software also recognizes older protocols providing extensive coverage and a clear insight into VoIP security, allowing for timely detection and prevention of any unauthorized access or tampering. The REI patent-pending Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Algorithm is another advanced feature that enhances the TALAN 3.0’s ability to recognize suspicious patterns in network traffic. This advanced algorithm converts network traffic arrival times into a frequency graph, creating identifiable patterns for detecting live VoIP traffic. This adds an extra layer of security by allowing for the visualization and analysis of complex data patterns, making it easier to identify and address potential threats.

Easy to use interface

With its touch screen and keypad, the TALAN 3.0 offers an intuitive user experience. Calibration, navigation, and control are designed to be straightforward and easy to use, without compromising on functionality. This ensures that you can operate the device efficiently, with all the functionalities in just one device. The 8-inch color display touchscreen allows you to see and monitor patterns, comparisons, and graphs needed to analyze and identify and potential threats. As with all REI products, training can be arranged for further understanding and optimal use of the device’s features.

Portable design suited for field operations

Weighing less than 3 kg (6 lbs), the TALAN 3.0’s compact and portable design makes it convenient for field operations. With all the needed features and functionalities The system comes in a durable carry case, allowing for easy transportation and deployment in various environments. This portability enhances its functionality across different scenarios. Whether it’s a telephone’s microphone, speakers, cabling, or even unused pairs, any of these can be exploited into eavesdropping devices. The TALAN 3.0 excels in identifying these vulnerabilities, ensuring security risks are detected and taken care of. It’s a flexible and extremely useful tool for security professionals on the move.

Manage, store and export all data with Data Viewer Software

Save, manage, analyze, and export TALAN test data and charts with the TALAN Data Viewer Software. It is a PC application vital for future analysis and reporting, as well as comparing information between phones/targets and allowing you to quickly identify anomalies. The TALAN 3.0 supports data saving to external memory systems like USB thumb drives or Compact Flash cards. This allows for efficient organization and storage of test data. The option to define a Job Name for organizing data adds to its functionality, making data management seamless and effective.
