The VIAVI T-BERD/MTS-5800 is a modular handheld network and fibre test platform designed for Ethernet, OTN, Fibre Channel, mobile fronthaul/backhaul, and optical transport testing across telecom, enterprise, metro, core, and data centre network infrastructures.
DESCRIPTION:
The VIAVI T-BERD/MTS-5800 is a compact modular handheld network and fibre test platform engineered for installation, service activation, troubleshooting, maintenance, and validation of modern transport, Ethernet, and fibre optic communication infrastructures.
Designed for telecom field technicians, network engineers, transport specialists, and data centre infrastructure teams, the T-BERD/MTS-5800 combines high-speed Ethernet analysis, optical transport testing, OTDR capability, Fibre Channel validation, and packet troubleshooting within a ruggedised portable architecture optimised for field deployment.
The platform supports testing across Carrier Ethernet services, metro and core transport networks, mobile fronthaul and backhaul infrastructure, OTN transport systems, SONET/SDH environments, Fibre Channel storage networks, enterprise Ethernet environments, and high-speed optical transport architectures.
The T-BERD/MTS-5800 is engineered for:
-
Ethernet service activation
-
fibre troubleshooting
-
transport network commissioning
-
SLA verification
-
packet transport diagnostics
-
OTN validation
-
Fibre Channel testing
-
mobile backhaul analysis
-
data centre interconnect testing
-
field maintenance operations
Its modular architecture supports scalable expansion for OTDR, optical spectrum analysis, Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and transport network applications while maintaining one of the industry’s smallest handheld form factors for multi-technology testing.
The platform supports advanced automated service activation workflows including RFC 2544, ITU-T Y.1564 SAMComplete™, and RFC 6349 TrueSpeed TCP throughput validation, enabling rapid SLA verification and end-to-end Ethernet performance analysis.
Integrated support for OTDR modules, optical power meters, fibre microscopes, Smart Link Mapper, and CPRI/OBSAI testing enables comprehensive fibre and wireless transport validation from a single field platform.
