When asked what the ideal testing solution would have, customers consistently replied with a few key features: it must be lightweight and reliable, provide high resolution and long battery life, feature simple operation to help our copper technicians entering the fibre world and do all of this cost effectively.
A tall order, but one met by the new Access Master MT9083A from Anritsu.
In fact, during a recent demo, a major US service provider responded "all that in one box - how can you lose?".
For customers installing and maintaining metro area or access networks, the Access Master offers an automated fibre construction application and multiple wavelengths including specialty applications such as 1383nm for certifying legacy fibres for CWDM upgrades.
For FTTx networks, the MT9083A series provides both optical testing at all of the primary wavelengths plus quality of service (QoS) verification via the IP testing option.
With the IP option, continuity, download speed, throughput and frame loss of Gigabit Ethernet links can be verified up to full line rate.
It also features a unique way to troubleshoot live PON based, FTTx networks without additional costly and complicated external filters.
"The Access Master MT9083A is the first all-in-one tool that does not compromise performance".
"It features extremely high resolution to see those closely spaces splices and connectors, while still being able to certify 100km-plus spans - quickly and accurately", says Steve Colangelo, Business Development Manager, Anritsu Instruments Company.
"In addition to verifying the integrity of the fibre plant, network performance can also be verified ensuring the customer experience is at its highest level".
