VIAVI CX200 infrastructure field tester

Field technicians tasked with deploying, maintaining and troubleshooting complex public safety infrastructure are in need of comprehensive, user-friendly and intuitive tools to allow them to complete their work accurately and quickly. With this in mind, VIAVI Solutions has introduced the CX200 infrastructure field tester — a handheld instrument to simplify technicians’ work and minimise total cost of ownership (TCO) when testing, maintaining and troubleshooting mission-critical radio networks.

The product incorporates VIAVI’s suite of automated test applications, designed to provide fast, repeatable and accurate test and alignment. Individual and overall pass or fail flags further simplify go/no-go testing, helping to eliminate errors. In addition, the device delivers a compact form factor while enabling critical new functions for onsite infrastructure testing, including cable sweeps and site surveys.

The product features a large colour touchscreen, paired with an innovative, browser-like user interface, that lets technicians quickly navigate between test set-ups. Its lightweight and compact chassis makes it suitable for both field technicians and lab bench applications.

The unit’s large, customisable colour-coded meters can be used for at-a-glance test verification, while the built-in cable and antenna analyser enable easy infrastructure cable and antenna testing. The full-featured spectrum analyser can be used to perform site surveys and locate interference.

VIAVI Auto-Test applications are available for all major LMR and PMR radios to reduce test time and eliminate user error. Cloud-based VIAVI StrataSync integration is available for asset, configuration and data management. VIAVI Smart Access Anywhere allows the test set to be remotely controlled using Windows, Android and iOS applications.
