The new testers will be showcased for the first time at VIAVI's booth J1285 at the SCTE Tech Expo, which will be held from September 29 to October 1 in Washington DC.
Verifying multi-gigabit performance and learning new technologies can be challenging for technicians. By enabling the validation and troubleshooting of fiber, Ethernet, WiFi 7, and DOCSIS™ connections at speeds up to 10 Gbps in under a minute, the OneExpert Fiber and OneExpert HFC all-in-one handheld testers reduce technicians' learning curve, helping to accelerate and simplify PON service deployment and maintenance.
OneExpert Fiber (ONX-700) validates Ethernet, fiber, and WiFi 7 connections, and OneExpert HFC (ONX-720/ONX-730) provides additional support for DOCSIS service delivery and is ideal for cable operators looking to upgrade their existing OneExpert CATV to support PON/FTTx.
“These new versatile, rugged, and integrated tools further reinforce VIAVI’s leadership in fiber testing and service activation,” said Kevin Oliver, vice president and general manager of Fiber and Access Solutions at VIAVI. “By simplifying the activation and maintenance of FTTx and DOCSIS services, the OneExpert all-in-one instruments make testing up to 10 Gbps easier than ever. We are excited to offer these essential tools for fast and reliable activation of multi-gigabit services, ensuring last-mile deployments are done right the first time and dramatically reducing the time spent identifying and troubleshooting issues in the field.”.
The new, intuitive tools transform any technician into an expert in end-to-end PON network connectivity and performance testing. They provide access to pre-configured and custom test profiles and include automatic pass/fail notifications. The one-button OneCheck test can be used to validate wired service delivery from the gateway or ONT, validate pre-delivery speeds for PON or P2P Fiber networks, verify that customers are receiving the required Wi-Fi signal strength and speed, and validate DOCSIS service delivery over Coax or Ethernet.
The new IP54-rated tools are weatherproof, have been drop-tested from 1 meter, and are built to operate reliably for many years. The modular design offers future-proof capabilities and reduces the total cost of ownership by enabling technicians to keep pace with evolving technologies, such as 25G and 50G service testing. VIAVI TPA™ (Test Process Automation) compatibility ensures process compliance by guiding workflows and standardizing test procedures. It also enables field personnel to operate at peak efficiency by notifying them of firmware updates and additional instrument options as they become available.
