Viavi Solutions announced enhanced capabilities for two testing solutions in its communications radio test portfolio (formerly Aeroflex). These feature enhancements include full automation and Auto-Test functionality for Kenwood NX-3000 portable and mobile radios on the 3920B Radio Test Platform, eliminating the need for user interaction. In addition, automated test and alignment capabilities supporting Harris XL-185 Series radios have been added to the 3920B Radio Test Platform and the 8800SX Digital Radio Test Set. These enhancements are designed to reduce downtime of mission critical platforms and increase operational efficiency.
“Built on a proven track record for speed and accuracy, VIAVI radio test platforms provide repeatable and highly accurate test and alignment to industry and manufacturer standards, ensuring proper interoperability and performance for critical communications when it matters most,” said Edward Latimer, Product Line Manager of Radio Test Sets for VIAVI. “VIAVI is committed to providing innovative testing solutions for the public safety community. With the latest enhancements to the 3920B and the 8800SX test platforms, radio users are able to perform fast, repeatable, and accurate test functions with minimal technical interaction.”
