'''Telecom Network Protocol Analyzer''' is a [[Protocol analyzer]] to analyze a [[switching]] and [[signaling]] [[telecommunication]] protocol between different nodes in [[PSTN]] or [[Mobile telephony|Mobile telephone netwroks]], such as [[2G]] or [[3G]] [[GSM]] networks, [[CDMA]] networks, [[WiMAX]] and so on.

A '''Telecomtelecom Networknetwork Protocolprotocol Analyzeranalyzer''' is a [[ProtocolPacket analyzer|protocol analyzer]] used to analyze a [[Packet switching|switching]] and [[telecommunications signaling]] [[telecommunication]] protocolprotocols between different nodes in [[PSTN]] or [[Mobile telephony|Mobile telephone netwroksnetworks]], such as [[2G]] or [[3G]] [[GSM]] networks, [[CDMA]] networks, [[WiMAX]] and so on.

In a [[Mobile telephony|mobile telecommunication network]] it can analyze the traffic between [[MSC]] and [[BSC]], BSC and [[BTS]], MSC and [[HLR]], MSC and [[VLR]], VLR and HLR, and so on.

In a [[Mobile telephony|mobile telecommunication network]] it can analyze the traffic between [[Network switching subsystem#Mobile switching center (MSC)|MSC]] and [[Base Station subsystem#Base station controller|BSC]], BSC and [[Base Station subsystem#Base Station subsystem|BTS]], MSC and [[Network switching subsystem#Home ___location register (HLR)|HLR]], MSC and [[Network switching subsystem#Visitor ___location register (VLR)|VLR]], VLR and HLR, and so on.

Protocol analyzers are mainly used for [[performance measurement]] and [[troubleshooting]]. These devices connect to the network to calculate key performance indicators ([[KPI]]) to monitor the network and speed-up troubleshooting activities.
