VIAVI Enhances Qualification and Troubleshooting Portfolio for Cable and Fiber Broadband Networks, Enabling Quality at SpeedSAN JOSE, Calif., May 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today introduced new test and measurement solutions to help service providers and contractors validate, qualify and troubleshoot cable and fiber broadband networks. The two new solutions from VIAVI, the DSP TDR Time Domain Reflectometer and the OCC-4056C DWDM Optical Channel Checker, deliver fast and accurate performance analysis and troubleshooting to ensure successful network installation and operation. Multiple system operators (MSOs) and cable technicians are under enormous pressure to deploy new services in a timely manner, as well as to quickly and accurately find cable faults to restore service as soon as possible. Moreover, in today's evolving landscape, the stakes are even higher as cable networks are now positioned to take on a larger role in mobile backhaul for 5G with new capabilities enabled by DOCSIS 3.1 and distributed architectures such as Remote PHY. "VIAVI is at the forefront of testing cutting-edge technologies, including Remote PHY, 5G, DOCSIS 3.1 and FTTH/PON, providing a smooth and reliable path through any access technology transition across the entire network lifecycle," said Kevin Oliver, Vice President and General Manager, Converged Instruments and Virtual Test, VIAVI. "Built on decades of test and measurement expertise, our comprehensive portfolio of solutions enables network technicians to successfully deploy, maintain, optimize and evolve complex networks, delivering outstanding quality of experience." VIAVI DSP TDR Unlike other TDRs that use "pulse" technology, the VIAVI DSP TDR uses "step" technology that continuously transmits while the receiver simultaneously listens for reflected signals, resulting in more accurate fault detection. Additional features of this new solution include:
As Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology migrates into access networks, MSOs and mobile operators require new solutions for testing fiber links, 5G fronthaul networks or Remote PHY architectures. The new VIAVI OCC-4056C Optical Channel Checker is designed to work with the popular T-BERD/MTS-2000, 4000, and 5800 platforms, forming the industry's most comprehensive set of test solutions for DWDM and hybrid DWDM/ CWDM metro and access networks. The OCC-4056C is a cost-efficient, field-optimized, all-in-one tool that enables technicians to quickly and easily confirm channel presence, frequency and power levels, validate new wavelength routes, and isolate issues to ensure that deployment, activation and maintenance tasks are completed right — the first time — without disrupting existing services.
