VIAVI NSC-100 Ethernet/Wi-Fi tester

The VIAVI Network and Service Companion (NSC-100) from Vicom is a test solution for Ethernet, enterprise and data centre networks. It combines active Ethernet and Wi-Fi testing capabilities, enabling service activation and troubleshooting tests on all network layers.

The NSC-100 can be used to optimise Wi-Fi coverage and performance and get network improvement recommendations when performance is below expectation. The unit runs active throughput tests (Speedtest, TrueSpeed RFC6349) to identify and prevent service-affecting throughput issues and can validate business services as standalone unit, or as a remote loopback device when combined with the T-BERD/MTS-5800 for Y.1564 and RFC2544 tests.

The product can be configured to support fibre, Ethernet and Wi-Fi in one solution. It features Ethernet test interfaces up to 10G; Ethernet testing up to Layer 4 (TCP/UDP); and a 3x3 Wi-Fi antenna with 2.4 and 5 GHz. For users looking to optimise workflow, it is StrataSync and Mobile Tech enabled.
