DESCRIPTION:

The VIAVI T-BERD/MTS-5800 is a compact modular handheld network test platform engineered for installation, activation, troubleshooting, and maintenance of modern high-speed fibre, Ethernet, and transport network infrastructures.

Designed for telecom field technicians, network engineers, data centre specialists, and transport infrastructure teams, the T-BERD/MTS-5800 combines Ethernet service activation, optical transport analysis, OTDR capability, and fibre troubleshooting within a ruggedised portable platform optimised for field deployment.

The platform supports testing across Carrier Ethernet networks, metro and core transport systems, fibre optic infrastructure, optical transport networks (OTN), enterprise Ethernet environments, data centre interconnects, mobile fronthaul and backhaul, and high-speed packet transport systems.

The modular architecture allows scalable expansion for Ethernet, optical, and fibre test applications while maintaining a lightweight handheld form factor suited for field operations and remote deployment environments.

The platform is designed for:

• service activation
• Ethernet turn-up
• fibre troubleshooting
• transport network commissioning
• SLA verification
• packet transport validation
• optical troubleshooting
• maintenance operations
• data centre deployment
• field diagnostics

The T-BERD/MTS-5800 supports automated service validation workflows including RFC 2544 and ITU-T Y.1564 methodologies, enabling rapid verification of Ethernet service performance and SLA compliance across multi-service transport networks.

Integrated OTDR functionality and optical troubleshooting tools support fibre characterisation, fault location, optical loss analysis, and end-to-end transport verification from a single portable platform.
