The new tester’s tablet-inspired design features a large 7in., outdoor-enhanced touchscreen – the largest in the industry for a handheld device, making it small enough to fit in one hand, yet large enough to provide clear, squint-free presentation of results. It also features an icon-based GUI in a Windows-like environment that can be easily mastered right from the outset. It is powered by a full-day, 12-hour rechargeable battery.
The MaxTester series is comprised of three models to cover any frontline fibre test application, from last-mile to access and FTTH/PON. The OTDRs replace EXFO’s AXS-100/110 OTDR Series, in turn bringing an advanced iOLM application to the handheld market. The iOLM OTDR-based application is powered by Link-Award technology, which combines an intelligent and dynamic multipulse approach with multiple wavelengths – all in a single link view that frees technicians from having to perform complex OTDR analysis.
“These solutions are a direct response to customer feedback, reflecting their need for compact, budget-friendly, powerful, yet intuitive testing tools inspired by tablets and smartphones,” said Étienne Gagnon, Vice-President of EXFO’s Test and Measurement Division
