What GPONDoctor Scoop does

GPONDoctor Scoop, commercially operating as Albedo Telecom (legal entity Albedo Solutions, inc.), is a niche telecommunications testing and measurement equipment provider serving telecom operators, power utilities, and network equipment manufacturers. The company designs and sells specialized hardware including PTP/NTP/PRP grandmaster clocks, IEC-61850 protocol testers, GPON/XGS-PON FTTH validation equipment, network TAPs, and LAN/WAN emulators. Its portfolio spans network synchronization, protocol conformance testing, and field-deployable validation, with the Zeus tester positioned as the world's first IEC-61850 PRP tester for substation automation and the GPD Cube enabling remotely deployable, continuous FTTH commissioning.

The technology stack centers on a modular hardware architecture supporting 15+ timing and synchronization protocols — PTP (telecom and power profiles), NTP, SyncE, ToD, PPS, IRIG-B, DCF77, BITS, T1/E1, GOOSE, SV, PRP, C37.94, RS-232, and G703 — with oscillator options ranging from TCXO through OCXO+ and Rubidium (Rb/Rb+). Core product families include the Net.Time Ω/φ/T clock platform, the GPONDoctor 4k7/9k7/10k7 and GPD Cube FTTH testers, the Zeus IEC-61850 tester, the Net.Storm handheld WAN/LAN emulator, the Net.Hunter and Net.Shark network TAPs, and supporting SKUs such as the OLT emulator, xGenius, Ether.Giga, Ether.Genius, AT.One, and AT.2048. Product pages and a browser-based Net.Time Live demo suggest a software/UI layer on top of the hardware platform.

GPONDoctor Scoop runs a direct enterprise B2B sales motion targeting telecom operators deploying FTTH networks, power utilities with IEC-61850 substation automation, and NEM/R&D labs for protocol development and conformance testing. Revenue is primarily hardware sales, with an emerging software/browser-based licensing component via Net.Time Live. The company is privately held, has 1–10 employees, is headquartered in Bilbao, Spain, and markets through its technical blog, LinkedIn, and customer Register/Buyers portals. No public pricing, revenue figures, or funding rounds are disclosed.
