FIBER INSPECTION REACHES NEW HEIGHTS
During fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA) installation, operators and infrastructure owners have to hire climbing specialists to mount towers and install the fibers and connect the remote-radio-heads (RRH). This is a costly endeavour. Crews usually familiar with copper or RF technology don’t always have the required fiber-testing background and it is difficult to carry bulky equipment up the towers. Thanks to a fully automated test process, the FIP-435B helps close the technology gap, reduces the number of climbs required and streamlines the work needed at the top of the tower. The device’s automatic focus adjustment feature delivers optimal image capture resolution while its focus protection feature prevents any risk of false positive results, ensuring technicians won’t have to climb the same mountain twice. Moreover, it enables tower climbers to leave their phones in their pockets, relying only on the LED pass/fail Indicator to get an immediate analysis result based on industry standards. With no heavy platform or phone to handle, the probe can be operated with just one hand, allowing them to concentrate on the task at hand and reach hard-to-access locations more easily. |

INSPECTION—WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS
The FIP-435B is a true wireless solution. The live video feed is streamed via WiFi without any wired connection between the probe and the smart device or any need for a cumbersome external battery pack. This greatly improves functional design and eliminates the risk of damaging your smart device by accidentally pulling a wire while manipulating the inspection tool. With its unmatched automation, simplified test ergonomics and pure freedom of operation, the FIP-435B makes technicians lives much easier and facilitates the adoption of best practices. Moreover, you can benefit from smart device connectivity in any location, allowing you to sync results and reports to cloud servers via email or other communication means available through your smart device. |
