E1/T1 Testers

E1/T1 Testers are critical tools for monitoring, diagnosing, and validating circuit-switched transmission lines that continue to underpin legacy voice and signaling networks. These testers are designed to verify signal quality, timing accuracy, bit error rates, and signaling protocols on both E-carrier and T-carrier systems. Telecome Test Tools’s E1/T1 Testers are built to support maintenance operations, service provisioning, and protocol compliance in environments where traditional time-division multiplexing (TDM) infrastructure still plays a vital role.

From Canoga Park, CA, Telecome Test Tools serves the North American market with robust, intuitive, and field-ready E1/T1 test equipment. Our systems provide line status indicators, full-frame analysis, and alarm capture, enabling technicians to isolate faults quickly and prevent service interruptions. Through a combination of advanced engineering, expert support, and continuous innovation, we help telecom and government organizations extend the operational life and performance of their legacy communications networks.
