VIAVI Network & Service Companion (NSC-200)

Product information "VIAVI Network & Service Companion (NSC-200)"

The Network & Service Companion (NSC-200) enables all technicians and service providers to test the network and service layer up to 10 Gbit/s before transmitting the test results to customers and service providers.

  • Simplify the testing and analysis processes for beginners and experts. Press the start button and all results are displayed in less than 1 minute.
  • Avoidance of customer complaints and localisation of the actual cause of the fault through tests at each access point (GPON, XGSPON, Ethernet, WLAN) for clear and fast delimitation with assessment from the customer's perspective
  • Optimisation of WLAN network coverage and performance as well as information for end users through simple analysis of individual rooms. Issue recommendations to improve network performance.

Advantages:
  • Simply test everything everywhere: PON, Ethernet, WLAN up to 10 Gbit/s
  • Verification of the actual customer experience and/or the physical network layer on all PON, Ethernet and WLAN test interfaces
  • Checking the provision of PON services prior to fault diagnosis at the customer's premises
  • Direct transmission of test reports by e-mail
  • Compliance with test procedures by internal and external technicians with centralised, cloud-based workflow and results management

Performance features:
  • GPON, XGSPON, Ethernet and WLAN tests, including throughput measurements up to 10 Gbit/s
  • Interfaces for Ethernet 1G, 2.5G, 5G and 10G
  • WiFi 3x3-Tests and WiFi Expert up to WiFi 6 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax)
  • PON data analysis (PON-ID)
  • PON power level
  • Job manager
  • Support for the Mobile Tech App and StrataSync
