VIAVI Solutions Unveils High-Speed Fiber Testing Tools in Europe
Lisbon, Wednesday, 17 September 2025.
VIAVI Solutions introduces all-in-one handheld testers for last-mile fiber networks, achieving speeds up to 10 Gbps, enhancing service provider efficiency and customer satisfaction in Europe.
Technical Specifications and Innovations
VIAVI Solutions’ new all-in-one handheld testers, the OneExpert Fiber (ONX-700) and OneExpert HFC (ONX-720/ONX-730), are designed to support fiber, Ethernet, WiFi 7, and DOCSIS connections. These devices can achieve data rates up to 10 Gbps, offering service providers a robust solution for last-mile fiber service activation and testing [1]. The tools are IP54-rated, indicating their resistance to dust and water, and have been drop-tested to withstand falls from 1 meter, ensuring durability in challenging environments [1].
Comparative Analysis with Existing Products
Compared to the VIAVI MTS-2000, another product in the company’s lineup, the new handheld testers provide enhanced functionality through their all-in-one design. While the MTS-2000 excels in modularity and supports a variety of test modules for different applications, the new tools integrate multiple testing capabilities into a single device, simplifying the testing process for technicians in the field [2]. This integration is particularly beneficial for field technicians who need to perform multiple types of tests quickly and efficiently.
Market Relevance and Strategic Impact
The introduction of these tools comes at a crucial time as Europe experiences increasing demand for high-speed internet and reliable connectivity. This demand is driven by the rapid expansion of digital infrastructure and the shift towards more remote work and learning environments [3]. VIAVI’s strategic focus on the European market leverages these trends, providing service providers with the tools they need to meet customer expectations for speed and reliability. Additionally, the tools’ compatibility with VIAVI’s Test Process Automation (TPA) ensures standardized test procedures, enhancing operational efficiency [1].
Future-Proof Design and Scalability
A key feature of the new handheld testers is their future-proof design, which supports upcoming technologies such as 25G and 50G service testing. This modularity reduces the cost of ownership for service providers by allowing them to upgrade capabilities as technology advances [1]. The ability to adapt to evolving standards without needing to invest in entirely new equipment positions VIAVI’s tools as a sustainable choice for companies looking to future-proof their network infrastructure [3].
