EXFO EX1

EXFO’s EX1, paired with your Android-powered smart device, is a one-of-a-kind Ethernet tester designed to qualify broadband connections and monitor residential and business customers’ quality of experience (QoE). The pocket-sized EX1 solution enables service providers to validate delivery of full line rate Gigabit Ethernet speeds to their subscribers. The advantage of the EX1 is two-fold: it includes FPGA-powered hardware, as well as the world-leading Speedtest® by Ookla® algorithm, giving service providers repeatable and reliable metrics, every time.

The EX1 test solution does not need a screen; all manipulations are handled via the ultra-intuitive application running on the field technician’s Android-powered smart device. All the required tasks are performed through this application: connection, setup, report generation, and cloud-enabled firmware upgrades.

The EX1 uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology which enables untethered testing capabilities – connecting directly to a smart phone or tablet. With its unique BLE capability, field technicians can be up to 100 ft. away from the EX1 tester, and not confined to challenging or harsh testing environments. EXFO’s EX1 takes full advantage of BLE by extending battery time, in turn allowing technicians to test more during their typical work day.
