Tech-X Flex™
Field Test Solution for Telco and Cable Providers

Vast amounts of money have been spent upgrading, refurbishing—and in some cases, building brand new networks in order to meet the demands of Triple Play deployments. Yet one area remains relatively untouched— the home network. This has traditionally been the domain of the consumer and considered out of bounds by the provider. That approach is changing. It is now realised that should the delivery of a customer’s TV stream falter, for whatever reason, the customer will more than likely switch their provider—and probably move their voice and data plans also.

Without the mindful eye of the provider watching over them, consumers have literally been left to their own devices when it comes to routing and expanding their wiring within the home. The rise in popularity of the PC and other connected consumer devices has created a potential minefield over which the delivery of IP Video services has to happen trouble free.

So how does the service provider ensure the home network can be tackled quickly and efficiently to ensure a smooth delivery to the consumer? The answer is Tech-X Flex. Tech-X Flex provides the complete functionality required in order to install and troubleshoot in-home networks.

Tech-X Flex is Spirent’s new modular hand-held tester. Designed with both in-home and Outside Plant (OSP) testing in mind, Tech-X Flex is equally suited to testing in FTTN, FTTP and Cable networks.
