Gain visibility into live Ethernet traffic with portable, hardware-based capture tools.
ALBEDO Telecom provides portable network TAP and packet capture solutions for monitoring, filtering, and recording Ethernet traffic directly in the field. Designed for network engineers and technicians, these instruments combine full-duplex traffic monitoring, FPGA-based packet filtering, and local storage in self-contained, battery-operated platforms.
Capture traffic from optical or electrical Ethernet links, select relevant packets using hardware filters, and export the results in PCAP or PCAPNG format for detailed analysis with tools such as Wireshark.
FPGA-Based Network Capture Device with Internal SSD
Net.Hunter is a portable packet capture appliance for transparent monitoring and recording of full-duplex Ethernet traffic. Its FPGA architecture supports bidirectional wire-speed capture up to 1 Gbit/s with 16 filters per port. Data can be stored on internal SSDs or forwarded in real time.
Handheld Network TAP for Utilities with SD Card Storage
Net.Shark is a portable Ethernet TAP for monitoring and capturing traffic in substations and utility networks. It supports PTP, NTP, GOOSE, SV, and MMS protocols—ideal for IEC 61850 troubleshooting. Its battery-operated design, integrated display, and versatile interfaces allow on-site capture.
ALBEDO offers multi-function test instruments that support concurrent packet capture during active network and synchronization testing.
Communications and Synchronization Tester for Power Utilities
Zeus combines packet capture capabilities with testing functions for Ethernet/IP, synchronization, PRP, and other utility communication interfaces.
It is intended for engineers who need to investigate captured traffic while performing additional network and protocol measurements.
Multitechnology Network and Synchronization Tester
xGenius combines Ethernet/IP and synchronization testing with packet capture capabilities, supporting investigations that require both traffic visibility and network performance measurements.
It is suited to technicians working across packet transport, timing, and legacy communication technologies.
Whether you need to capture Ethernet traffic from a live link, troubleshoot IEC 61850 communications, or combine packet analysis with network testing, ALBEDO offers instruments designed for field engineering workflows.
