DESCRIPTION:

The VIAVI NSC-100 Network & Service Companion is a compact handheld multi-service network test platform engineered for installation, activation, troubleshooting, and validation of PON, Ethernet, and WiFi services across residential, enterprise, and telecom infrastructures.

Designed for frontline field technicians, contractors, broadband installers, and enterprise support teams, the NSC-100 combines fibre, Ethernet, and wireless test capability within a ruggedised portable architecture optimised for rapid service turn-up and fault isolation.

The platform supports testing across GPON, XGS-PON, Ethernet, enterprise LAN environments, WiFi networks, fibre access infrastructure, and multi-gigabit broadband services. Its integrated “OneCheck” workflow architecture automates test procedures and pass/fail validation, allowing technicians of varying skill levels to complete standardised service activation and troubleshooting workflows quickly and consistently.

The NSC-100 is engineered for:

• PON activation and troubleshooting
• Ethernet service validation
• WiFi diagnostics
• residential broadband installation
• enterprise network troubleshooting
• SLA verification
• throughput analysis
• field maintenance operations
• multi-gig service validation
• customer experience verification

The platform supports throughput validation using Ookla Speedtest, RFC-6349 TrueSpeed, iPerf, and SpeedCheck methodologies while supporting Ethernet Layer 2 and Layer 3 loopback operation for RFC-2544 and Y.1564 service testing.

Its compact screenless architecture allows operation through the VIAVI Mobile Tech application or integration with compatible VIAVI OneExpert and MTS platforms for expanded field capability and cloud-managed workflow operation through StrataSync environments.
