Viavi Solutions has introduced new fiber test and measurement solutions, expanding its portfolio for fiber optic testing.
New optical power meters, fiber characterization modules, and an enhanced Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) solution enable service providers, colocation and hyperscale data centers, enterprises and contractors to reduce costs, improve quality of service, minimize downtime and speed time to revenue.
The comprehensive VIAVI fiber portfolio continues to evolve with a full range of essential instruments, systems and software required to address today’s fastest growing technologies and functional needs, providing end-to-end support for the construction, activation, monitoring and maintenance of fiber optic services.
New and enhanced elements of the VIAVI fiber portfolio include:
· OTDR 2.0 - The all new VIAVI OTDR solution, redesigned to deliver faster, more reliable measurements and user experience.
· SmartPocket V2 - Building on the popular VIAVI SmartPocket line, the SmartPocket V2 is a complete family of optical power meters, light sources and loss test kits for essential fiber testing, activation and troubleshooting.
These solutions complement the most comprehensive fiber test portfolio in the industry, including PON/FTTx innovations for fiber monitoring (ONMS), construction/installation (Optimeter), and first-to-market certification of unbalanced PON architectures (PON OTDR).
