This cloud-based test management tool for portable analyzers replaces time-consuming manual procedures and offers benefits to operators, installers and contractors —
Anritsu introduces a new version of its award-winning cloud-based test management tool SkyBridge Tools™, which reduces the time required to test and verify distributed antenna systems (DAS) by up to 90%. With its enhanced features, SkyBridge Tools can serve as a Test Management Tool for DAS that automatically generates detailed test plans based on easily imported test criteria, greatly simplifying the installation and commissioning of in-building wireless systems for faster billing of work upon completion.
The new version of SkyBridge Tools, based on Microsoft architecture, brings a simplified testing process to the DAS installation workflow. Accepts information from iBwave designer, Excel and test criteria provided by the client. It quickly and automatically processes this data to create comprehensive test plans for testing sequencing, job progress tracking, and reporting. The new version of SkyBridge Tools also exclusively includes the easyTest feature, which allows you to create a set of one-button instrument control scripts from a test plan. The script includes the necessary tests, as well as precise instrument settings, limits, and filenames needed for the resulting tracks, thus greatly reducing testing time, communication problems, and errors.
Reports can be generated in different formats to automate what has traditionally been a time consuming process. Users can select PDF, compressed, or CSV files, with one row per test, to meet virtually any customer requirement.
Because it is an automated process, SkyBridge Tools represents a significant advance that improves the workflow for installing and commissioning DAS, which can require 1.000 to 15.000 traces, photos, and other items to verify that the installation is complete. of a single system meets performance standards. The result is a more efficient method of testing in less time, more accurate testing, and reliable payment for work completed. SkyBridge is fast, accurate and reliable.
Every segment of the communications installation ecosystem can benefit from SkyBridge Tools. It is very useful for contractors or owner/operators who need an efficient method of verifying that their work is complete before getting paid. DAS system installers can work more efficiently as SkyBridge Tools automate the collection and validation of thousands of traces. Tower installation contractors can also use SkyBridge Tools as they need to effectively demonstrate that their work meets customer standards. Network operators, public safety contractors, aviation manufacturers, and shipbuilders can also take advantage of SkyBridge Tools.
SkyBridge Tools can be used with different Anritsu field solutions to create a complete DAS testing solution. Can be integrated with “L” and “E” Series Site Master™ Portable Cable and Antenna Analyzers, MW82119B PIM Master™ Portable Analyzer, “E” and BTS Series Cell Master™ Base Station Analyzers Master™ MT8220T. It can also be used with Anritsu solutions for fiber, including the Network Master™ MT9090A, the ACCESS Master™ series, and the CMA multi-layer test and measurement platform.
