New FTTx Broadband Test Solution Enables Subscriber Speeds To Be Field-Checked

EXFO First To Offer SpeedTest Powered Handheld Broadband Testing Device

EXFO today announced a new hand-held test device that enables operators rolling out residential FTTx broadband to ensure subscribers get the throughput (upload and download speeds) they expect based on results obtained directly from the testing devices used by technicians in the field

 Less than a year after introducing MaxTester 635G, the world’s first handheld G.fast test set, EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO, TSX: EXF), the global network test, data and analytics experts, today announced another industry first: the MaxTester 635G is now the only Speedtest™ Powered broadband test device. The new software enables operators rolling out FTTx broadband in the residential services market to make sure subscribers get the throughput (upload and download speeds) they expect, based on results obtained directly from the testing devices used by technicians in the field.

Speedtest by Ookla’s throughput testing and analysis software has been integrated directly into the MaxTester 635G test solution, part of EXFO’s broader portfolio of test orchestration and real-time 3D analytics solutions for service providers, network equipment manufacturers and web-scale companies. Speedtest’s technology measures the true TCP throughput over the customer’s G.fast/DSL or Ethernet circuit using the industry gold standard in internet connection speed testing. Service providers can now get more consistent results, more efficiently, with a single tool that integrates physical, service and throughput testing. The handheld MAX-635G enables technicians to perform a Speedtest anywhere in the last mile network (DPU/DSLAM, NID, ONT), and prove internet upload and download speeds to locally distributed Speedtest servers.

"To thrive in a context of massive industry transformation, service providers need more consistent and accurate network testing, executed more efficiently," said Stéphane Chabot, EXFO’s Vice-President, Test and Measurement. “As their partners, our job is to develop smarter solutions that meet those needs. We’re proud to be the first to integrate Speedtest and provide operators with the perfect all-in-one tool for residential testing.”

In addition to being Speedtest Powered, EXFO's MaxTester 635G helps service providers confidently install, turn up and maintain G.fast, VDSL2-35b, VDSL2- and ADSL2+ deployments, and verify subscriber data rates of up to 1 Gbit/s. It offers multiplay service testing with industry-leading, copper fault-finding capabilities and touchscreen navigation. The MaxTester 635G also provides superior asset and data field management support using EXFO Sync and EXFO Connect mobile and cloud-based solutions.
