Key Takeaways
VIAVI launched a TETRA Mobile Station Base Station Simulator upgrade for its CX300 service monitor.
VIAV's upgrade adds transmitter, call processing, and BER/MER testing to streamline field workflows.
VIAVI's 2026 and 2027 earnings estimates have improved over the past 60 days.
Viavi Solutions, Inc. (VIAV - Free Report) recently introduced a TETRA Mobile Station (MS) Base Station Simulator for its CX300 communications service monitor. TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) is an international digital radio communication standard. It is developed for several entities such as emergency services, government agencies and industries that require highly reliable and secure communications.
The CX300 is VIAVI's portable communications service monitor. This is usually used by the field technicians to deploy, maintain and troubleshoot radio systems. In the traditional process, testing of a TETRA mobile radio needed T1 test mode, which requires additional setup.
The new upgrades introduced by Viavi enable the CX300 platforms to assess the TETRA radios by replicating the real-world scenarios with precision. The comprehensive testing upgrades include transmitter parametric measurements, call processing tests, and Bit Error Rate/Message Error Rate testing. The upgrades accelerate the testing process, accelerate the deployment timeline, reduce workload for field technicians and lower the overall operating cost of emergency service providing agencies. Such a strong focus on innovation reinforces VIAV's technology leadership in mission-critical radio testing.
