- XGSPON, Ethernet, WiFi, SpeedCheck 1G, Speedtest 1G
Overview
The NSC200-XGSPON-PRO is a standard package of the VIAVI Network & Service Companion (NSC-200), a compact, screenless handheld unit that combines PON, Ethernet and WiFi test interfaces with VIAVI OneCheck applications for service activation and troubleshooting at residential and business premises.
This package combines XGSPON, Ethernet and WiFi testing with VIAVI SpeedCheck 1G and Ookla Speedtest 1G throughput tests. In XGSPON mode the unit emulates an ONU/ONT using the VIAVI XGSPON SFP and reports PON activation state, power levels, PON ID and ODN class according to ITU-T G.9807 and G.988. This allows technicians to confirm PON service delivery before troubleshooting the premises network.
The NSC-200 platform supports Ethernet interfaces at 1G, 2.5G, 5G and 10G and throughput tests up to 10 Gbps with the corresponding speed-test options. WiFi testing covers WiFi Expert passive analysis up to WiFi 6 and OneCheck WiFi connected-mode tests up to WiFi 5 3x3, with recommendations when performance is below expectation.
Workflow and connectivity
The unit is operated through the VIAVI Mobile Tech app over Bluetooth from an Android or iOS smart device. Job Manager organizes jobs, test results and reports, and reports can be submitted via StrataSync or shared directly by email. NSC units can also act as remote-controlled test agents for the VIAVI Fusion centralized test system.
