Deviser Instruments Launches All-In-One Solution for Installation, Verification, Maintenance of Cable Networks

Deviser Instruments, Inc., a manufacturer of innovative, high-quality, feature-rich field network test solutions for communications service providers and equipment manufacturers worldwide, today announced the launch of the handheld DS2800 Cable TV Analyzer, an all-in-one tool for installing, verifying and maintaining cable networks. The company is debuting the product this week at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2014 (booth 571) at the Colorado Convention Center.

The DS2800 is DOCSIS 3.1 ready and includes a spectrum analyzer which covers up to 210 MHz upstream. This field cable tv analyzer's persistence analysis facilitates in-service detection of transient noise and impairments hiding beneath the upstream signal. Error Vector Spectrum (EVS) analysis, which is new to handheld instruments, can quickly detect and identify interference from the fast-growing LTE (News - Alert) network. MPEG Transport Stream analysis in compliance with ESTI TR101 290 measurement techniques can be used for continuous or periodic monitoring of MPEG TSs in an operational environment. These unique capabilities enable technicians to detect and isolate impairments that wre not visible in the past, ensuring proper installation on the first visit and shortening service calls to reduce operational expenses.

"The launch of the DS2800 is a game-changer for technicians deploying cable networks because it provides them with a powerful, compact all-in-one solution that provides a robust set of features and capabilities that enable them to properly deploy and maintain cable networks to maximize customer satisfaction," explained Mike Tolaio, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Deviser Instruments. "From an operations standpoint, the DS2800 reduces OPEX (News - Alert) and CAPEX by integrating multiple functions into the device and minimizing the time required on-site for service calls."

Key benefits of the DS2800 include:

• An all-in-one tool for installation, verification and maintenance of cable networks that includes a full DOCSIS cable modem
• Future-proof cable TV analyzer that is compatible with DOCSIS 3.1 and covers up to 210 MHz for upstream
• Find hidden or transient noise through persistence testing and detect interference from LTE interference with EVS masks
• A full featured spectrum analyzer that can detect signals up to 2185 MHz and 80 dB dynamic range
• Accurately verify the quality of the signal with in-service gated measurements, DVB signal analysis (with MER and BER measurements),
• Identify impairments with Equalizer, Frequency Response and Group Delay Analysis
• Speed up installation with pre-configured auto test, simultaneous display of QAM and spectrum analysis and ultra-fast QAM signal lock
• Pre-qualify installations by using the upstream signal generator

The DS2800 Spectrum (News - Alert) Analyzer is available exclusively in the U.S. and Canada through Electroline Equipment, Inc. For more information on Deviser Instruments and its growing portfolio of test and measurement products visit www.deviserinstruments.com.
