Product Overview
Telephone and Line Analyzer for Detecting Wire Taps and Eavesdropping
TALAN® 3.0 is designed to detect and locate illicit tampering and security vulnerabilities on digital, analog, and VoIP telephone systems. It can test twisted pairs against modern telecommunication threats, including shield and ground.
01
Multi-Test Platform
Combines voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, non-linear junction detection, frequency domain reflectometry, and digital demodulation in one analyzer.
02
Automatic Pair Switching
Internal pair switching matrix performs tests on all pair combinations, helping compare results across multiple phone lines and identify anomalies.
03
VoIP Traffic Analysis
Advanced VoIP traffic filtering and FFT-based spectrum view help identify suspicious packet information and visual traffic patterns.
04
RF Broadband Detection
RF broadband detector supports testing for RF energy, with RF SMB input up to 8 GHz and line level testing from 100 kHz to 600 MHz.
05
FDR & NLJD Functions
Frequency Domain Reflectometer checks for taps on a line, while NLJD functionality helps detect electronics connected to the line.
06
Data Viewer Software
TALAN Data Viewer Software helps organize, analyze, compare, and export saved test sequence data and charts for report writing.
