The New Adaptable, High Performance Probe for Testing Today’s and Tomorrow’s Mobile Networks
Ever increasing load in 3G networks is the reality of today, and even greater performance requirements will exist when monitoring tomorrow’s 3G, WiMAX, LTE and IP based legacy networks. These increasing data loads frequently result in challenging, and often costly, performance monitoring requirements. The K18 hardware probe from Tektronix Communications provides the utmost in flexibility, ease-of-use and cost-efficiency for monitoring, troubleshooting and optimizing mobile networks. In short, now you can minimize acquisition costs and obtain the high-speed performance you need. As your requirements for connectivity grow, the modular design and scalability can be expanded as needed.
Fast
Tektronix Communications’ K18 offers high performance data capturing for real-time analysis or subsequent offline investigations. State-of-the-art hardware filters for data reduction ensure a high performance, highly responsive data collection platform.
Scalable
Expand your platform over time as your needs grow! The K18 starts with support for just a single STM-1/OC-3/GbE link, and can be expanded to support as many links as you require. With its abilities to grow as and when you need, the K18 is a solution that meets every budget and performance requirement for even the most demanding technical needs.
Portable
The lightweight probe easily connects to a laptop PC for use in the field
