Overview
The new ARGUS 260 all-in-one tester delivers improved performance for testing broadband interfaces. The high-quality multifunction tester is ideally equipped for the expansion of future networks.
The ARGUS 260 reliably tests all broadband interfaces, from GPON and G.fast (106 + 212 MHz) to super vectoring, Bonding, ADSL and VDSL accesses, in the uncompromising quality Argus users have come to expect. It is also equipped with a wide range of further interfaces and test functions, such as 2.5 GB Ethernet, WLAN, copper, TDR, RFL, triple play and many more.
The integrated WIFI interface enables the ARGUS 260 to communicate with its environment directly - a PC link is no longer required.
Once integrated in your job management system, the ARGUS 260 marks the advent of a new generation of broadband testing.
Technical Notes
GPON Testing white paper
Introduction
Europe is deciding whether and how the goals of the "Gigabit Society 2025" and the "Digital Compass 2030" can be achieved. These strategies for expanding the digital broadband infrastructure in Europe are indispensable for maintaining and strengthening the business location and competitiveness. As important as they are, they are also ambitious. After all, every European household should be connected with at least 100 Mbit/s by 2025 and at least 1 Gbit/s by 2030.
GPON Testing: Guide to commissioning and maintenance
Fibre is being installed into homes and business around the country at an unprecedented rate. Although current technologies like VDSL2 and G.fast can cover current broadband needs, communication providers who want to be ready for the future must continue to invest in modern fibre optic technologies. All major and many smaller network operators are pursuing this route with Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) be adopted as the preferred technology.
OTDR measurements in the last mile
... An OTDR suitable for PON troubleshooting should therefore support at least two wavelengths: one of the above mentioned commonly used wavelengths (e.g. 1310nm) if the network or the section to be measured is out of service; and a second wavelength that allows interference free in service measurements, which is particularly important if the technician does not have access to both ends of the fibre. The latter should have the greatest possible ...
