Deviser Instruments, a new communications test and measurement company specializing in handheld solutions for the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of wireless communication sites, today announced products that enable RF engineers, technicians, and contractors to see what they have never seen before by providing deeper views into the signal environment and site infrastructure. Deviser Instruments, a joint-venture partnership with Deviser Electronics, launched its Profiler line that identifies network issues quicker (often in just 250 microseconds) and with pinpoint accuracy. This capability improves teams’ ability to get sites running faster and provides confidence that the job is done correctly, reducing future truck rolls and ultimately reducing OPEX.
In today’s evolving wireless networks, RF coaxial cable, fiber optics, Ethernet backhaul, and complex RF signals all converge upon the wireless site. Additionally, wireless service providers are expanding their networks to deliver greater content by deploying alternative infrastructures—remote radio heads (RRH) and distributed antenna systems (DAS), among other small-cell alternatives—most of which are fiber-based. Adding to the complexity of network site management is signal interference that adversely affects site transmission coverage, capacity and overall network performance.
In order to properly install, maintain, and troubleshoot these networks, contractors and network operators require a broader test set than ever. This leads to increased equipment needs, acquisition, training and service costs.
“Deviser Instruments addresses these challenges better than other test equipment vendors by integrating necessary test and measurement solutions for today’s evolving wireless networks into simple-to-use, configurable, high-performance economical products that improve productivity,” said Mike Tolaio, VP of sales and marketing for Deviser Instruments. “We enable RF engineers, contractors, installers, and network operators to work in a way that simplifies their jobs, reduces cost of ownership and focuses on keeping networks up and running.”
Deviser Instruments is showcasing the following products at International Wireless Communications Expo 2015 in Las Vegas:
- SpectrumPROFILER E8400B and E8600B Spectrum Analyzers. Designed for wireless professionals and network operations teams, the handheld, battery-operated E8400B (9 kHz to 4.0 GHz) and E8600B (9 kHz to 6.0GHz) spectrum analyzer-based products are suitable for complex-signal and interference analysis. The instruments include optional measurement modes for interference analysis, coverage mapping (indoor and outdoor), and comprehensive LTE testing (signal analysis and over-the-air testing).
- SitePROFILER E7000L RF/Optic Cable & Antenna Analyzer. Designed for tower crews, contractors, and installers, the handheld, battery-operated E7000L Cable & Antenna Analyzer (2 MHz to 4.4 GHz) is a cost-effective tool for installing, deploying, and maintaining wireless networks. With eight hours of continuous battery life, tower teams can now conduct a full-days’ testing on a single charge.
- SitePROFILER E7000B RF/Optic Cable & Antenna Analyzer. Designed for wireless professionals and network operations teams, the handheld, battery-operated E7000B Cable & Antenna Analyzer (2 MHz to 4.4 GHz) is suitable for deploying, maintaining, and troubleshooting wireless networks and adds both speed and fiber scope. The instruments’ high-performance sweep measurements include a fault location sweep speed of 1.15 ms.
