Currently, the first order of business for telecom operators is reducing capital
expenses (CAPEX) and operating expenses (OPEX)—without compromising
quality of service. In today’s ultra-competitive telecom industry, network service
providers (NSPs) have to constantly come up with new, more affordable
programs for fast Internet, as well as long-distance and local phone services.
This makes it difficult for them to upgrade and even maintain their networks,
and to meet the challenge of keeping costs down while maintaining high
quality.
One way to do it is to choose more efficient network testing gear, which can
help minimize CAPEX by doing more, faster, with a more simple approach,
considerably reduce OPEX by cutting testing and training time and significantly
lowering error potential.
The FOT-930 MaxTester fits this description: its flexibility enables the user to
perform the required tests and validation for various network types and
environments.
Key Advantages for NSPs
• Fast, three-wavelength loss and ORL testing
• User-configurable pass/fail thresholds
• Video fiber probe for easy connector inspection
• Ease of use for faster testing, reduced training, minimum error potential, etc.
Installers and Contractors:
A Single Tool for All Network Types
In today’s market conditions, installers and contractors face critical challenges. For instance, since they never know where their next
assignment will take them, they need to be proficient on both private and public networks. This is why their test crews should be versatile,
and should carry test equipment that offers built-in flexibility.
Because learning how to operate only one instrument is easier and much faster, test specialists should choose an all-in-one tool that
enables them to perform tasks such as high-speed long-haul network installation, 1310/1490/1550 nm transmission testing in FTTH
networks, multimode testing in entreprise networks, etc.—a do-it-all solution such as the FOT-930.
Key Advantages for Installers and Contractors
• The only unit designed for testing both multimode and singlemode fiber
• User-configurable pass/fail thresholds for error-free testing
• Complete report generation capabilities
