VIAVI Solutions on Tuesday announced enhancements to the VIAVI OneAdvisor-800 all-in-one tool to streamline cell site maintenance of 5G and 4G technologies.
With the addition of 5G NR and 4G LTE signal analyzer functionality to the OneAdvisor-800, field technicians can efficiently deploy, integrate and troubleshoot today’s multi-technology networks with a single instrument.
The VIAVI OneAdvisor-800 consolidates all key 5G and 4G cell site installation and integration tests, with support for fiber, coaxial cable, PIM detection, fronthaul, and spectrum/signal analysis. In addition to the efficiency of an all-in-one device, built-in automated workflows guide technicians through each test process and automatically store test results, further streamlining cell site certification and optimization.
Key Features
- 5G NR Signal Analyzer: Comprehensive signal analysis measurements for 5G, including beam analysis and carrier scanner for single or multiple 5G channel verification.
- 4G LTE Signal Analyzer: One-button testing for standards-based RF channel power, over-the-air channel scanner and ID scanner verifying LTE-FDD/LTE-TDD signal performance, allowing faster validation and troubleshooting.
- EMF Signal Analyzer: Electromagnetic field testing in spectral format and in the 5G beam analysis method, effectively assessing the amount of energy emissions from 5G active antenna based radios.
- DSS Signal Analyzer: Concurrent signal analysis of 5G NR and 4G LTE signals transmitted on shared spectrum to quickly Identify service availability and performance issues.
