Posted on

VIAVI have just released updated software for the SmartOTDR, T-BERD/MTS-2000 V2 and -4000 V2 platforms. These latest software versions include test options and feature enhancements to enable network tests at new speeds and with new capabilities that make testing faster and more efficient. The latest software release includes major usability enhancements, these are the main new functional additions:

Fiber test applications on SmartOTDR, T-BERD/MTS-2000 V2, -4000 V2 and -5800

  • OTDR 2.0 – A complete update to the look, feel, operation and performance of our OTDR and related fiber optic test applications. The user experience has been redesigned to improve the usability by reducing complexity and adopting modern smart device gestures/techniques for increased control to get techs of any skill level up-and-running in no time while reducing test and reporting times

Bi-directional fiber certification for T-BERD/MTS-2000 V2 and -4000 V2

  • Enhanced TestPRO/FiberComplete capabilities for 4100B OTDR module
    • Industries fastest two wavelength bi-directional IL/ORL & length measurement plus instant continuity check reduces test time (3.5s typical on simplex fiber)
    • High speed instrument-to-instrument communication via test port and fiber under test
      • No additional communications media required (WiFi connection, Smartphone tethering, USB, etc.)
      • Eliminate test configuration errors and reduce instrument setup time, data exchange
      • Remove unnecessary file transfer, automatically retrieve results from remote/far-end
      • Improve near-end/far-end tech process workflow and cut down on SMS/phone calls, send pre-defined messages
    • Remove time, complexity and cost when certifying MPO cables, automatic sequence of 12 x FiberComplete (IL, ORL & OTDR) measurements with management of a MPO switch module including auto-detection of cable polarity type
  • SW option to add FiberComplete capabilities to 4100B OTDR module
    • Evolve test requirements with your needs, deploy automated bi-directional IL/ORL and OTDR testing to units in the field

Support for new xWDM test modules for T-BERD/MTS-2000 V2, -4000 V2 and -5800

  • Nano OSATM Modules
    • The first truly field ready Optical Channel Verifier (OCV) and Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) modules specifically developed to enable fast and reliable xWDM deployment in access networks. Delivering all the key features and capabilities needed they can grow/expand as your test requirements demand to enable fast and efficient deployment of any new high-speed C/D/M/LWDM services for Wireless 4G and 5G, CATV/MSO DAA and R-PHY, plus next gen WDM PON networks.
      • Smallest and toughest field OSA on the market
      • Turn-up and verify any new or legacy xWDM service, full band & high resolution
      • A single field solution combines OSA with Ethernet/BERT, OTDR or Wireless RF test
      • Pluggable transceiver tuning and verification with integrated SFP/SFP+ bay
