Anritsu SkyBridge Tools cloud-based test management suite

Click2Contact

Anritsu has introduced a new version of its SkyBridge Tools cloud-based test management tool, reducing the time associated with testing and verifying distributed antenna systems (DAS) by as much as 90%.

With enhanced features, the product can serve as a DAS test management tool that automatically creates detailed test plans based on easily imported test criteria to simplify installation and commissioning of in-building wireless systems. Built on Microsoft architecture, the updated version accepts information from iBwave Design, Excel and customer-supplied test criteria. It automatically processes this data to create test plans that enable test sequencing, job progress tracking, trace judgement and report generation. An easyTest feature is also included that allows a set of one-button instrument control scripts to be created from a test plan.

Necessary tests and accurate instrument set-ups, limit lines and required file names for the resulting traces are included in the script, which greatly reduces test time, miscommunications and errors. Reports can also be generated in various formats with users able to choose from PDFs, zipped files or CSV format, with one row per test.

The tool can also be used with different Anritsu field solutions and can be integrated with the Site Master ‘L’ and ‘E’ series handheld cable and antenna analysers, PIM Master MW82119B portable PIM analyser, Cell Master ‘E’ series base station analysers, and BTS Master MT8220T. It can also be used with Anritsu fibre field solutions, including Network Master MT9090A, the ACCESS Master series and the CMA multilayer network test and measurement platform.
