Fluke TS100 Metric Cable Fault Finder

An easy-to-use fault locator, cable and wire manager and tone generator. This easy-to-use, competitively priced tester is three tools in one -- a fault locator, a cable & wire manager and a tone generator with SmartTone™ technology. From just ONE END of any two or more conductor cable you can measure up to 3,000 feet (915 meters). Easily find the distance to opens or shorts on electrical wire, telephone wire, security wire and coax. Results appear as a distance reading rather than a waveform, so it's perfect for technicians unfamiliar with Time Domain Reflectometery (TDR). Find and fix cable problems without pulling new wire or blindly cutting into walls. Intermittent faults are easier to find because the unit constantly measures while "On".

Polystar Osix

OSIX Crystallizer - Graphical Reporting Tool

Every day, the information we need to handle grows more complex, with an

increased need for rapid analysis and digestion of large amounts of data. This is

especially true in the telecom industry, where there is a growing demand for

simultaneous analysis of large amounts of complex data and management of real-

time information feeds.

The Crystallizer business idea is to cater to this demand by implementing state-of-

the-art 4D visualisation technology.

Osix System & qGate - Real-Time Network Monitoring System for VoIP

IMS Performance Monitoring

OSIX is a network-wide monitoring system for fixed, mobile and IP networks. OSIX captures signalling information and accurately

re-creates every event on the network as it occurs, completely independently. As well as providing a real time response to issues,

the event details can also be stored, in multiple simultaneous formats, for further analysis or to feed fraud and billing systems.

The OSIX system provides operational detail which greatly exceeds that from traditional

sources, such as switch CDRs, in both speed and accuracy.

downstream paths and related servers for video, Internet and VoIP traffic. Triple Play services can be

verified on either the RF and/or LAN interfaces while the unique pass-through mode provides true modem

emulation and Ethernet traffic statistics. The Remote View option allows viewing of the return path

monitoring results from a CX180R headend system.

Upload test results via Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n WiFi or 3G UMTS connections (in addition to USB memory

stick and FTP capabilities already supported).

VeEX CX 100/120/180 Series CATV Expert

VeEX™ CX series are next generation test solutions designed for analog and digital cable TV networks

supporting VoIP, WiFi, and Internet service. Analog and Digital SLM, ingress noise sweep, deep interleave

support, and QAM constellation analysis are among many standard features. Enhanced optional features

include QAM16/64/128 Upstream Generation (USG), Reverse Path QAM Analysis, and DOCSIS 2.0 Cable

Modem emulation. A high capacity LiIon battery pack provides extended autonomy for a full day use with

only a single charge.

An all-in-one, super-tech installation and maintenance tool for next generation CATV networks. It can be

used at the headend for return path ingress scan and return path QAM analysis. Enhanced ingress

monitoring in both the forward and reverse paths is possible across a 50dB dynamic range. Adjustable

resolution bandwidths, measurement dwell times and attenuation provide spectrum analysis capabilities all

optimized for CATV signal types and bandwidth. Similar to the CX150+, a DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem or an

advanced USG are available as hardware options at time of order or as field upgrades. Remote View

software option is also available on the CX180+.

VoipFuture Smart RTP Monitoring

RTP Monitoring is the real-time analysis of media streams and their individual packets. Data from actual VoIP calls can

be gathered anywhere in an IP network, allowing to track the quality of RTP streams during transit.

The quality of VoIP calls is more likely to vary than the quality known from the old TDM world. A shared packet-switched transport

with many complex devices and networks simply has many problem sources. This becomes evident as the amount of traffic

increases. Keeping the IP network under control is thus vital to the flawless operation of any VoIP service. The VOIPFUTURE system

provides all the relevant information required for VoIP network management.

The probes generate quality data records (QDR) for every 5 s segment of every stream on a monitored link. Examples of the

detailed in-call information contained in each QDR include:

Jitter & packet inter-arrival time histograms,

Packet loss & burst loss histograms,

Used DSCP code points and

Indicators for different impairment types, e.g. network

overload
