The Optical Wave Expert diagnoses and fixes faults on the
spot to cut mean-time-to-repair
QUEBEC CITY, Oct. 1, 2019
/PRNewswire/ - EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO) (TSX: EXF) the
communications industry's test, monitoring and analytics
experts, today introduced the Optical Wave Expert, the first
device to integrate DWDM channel power validation and intelligent
OTDR fault-locating capabilities on a single port. Designed to save
multiple service operators (MSOs) time and money, the Optical Wave
Expert equips field technicians to automatically measure, diagnose
and troubleshoot optical fiber links.
"We're delighted to bring an innovation to market that reduces
'time-to-cash KPIs', streamlines operations and empowers cable
operators' field operations to get it done right the first time.
Even field technicians with no DWDM network experience become
instant experts in diagnostics and troubleshooting," said Stéphane
Chabot, EXFO's Vice President of Test & Measurement. "The
Optical Wave Expert, which is easy-to-use, compact, and portable,
fills an existing gap in the market by eliminating the need for
multiple instruments and seamlessly isolating problems for quick
resolution."
The integration of channel checker and OTDR capabilities on a
single port means less unnecessary manipulation of the optical
fiber and improved field efficiency. Instead of the 'trial and
error' process that previously relied on separate, less proficient
devices which increased the chance of disabling nodes, EXFO's
Optical Wave Expert ensures faster mean-time-to-repair and
accelerates service turn-up and time to revenue.
Technicians can now perform real-time channel power readings
through an intuitive GUI environment and benefit from tunable OTDR
capabilities. Bar graph and table views are available on a wide
touchscreen display for instant visibility.
