Flex is the field test solution for all telco and cable providers, enabling qualification of the service and troubleshooting of transport and service related issues within the consumer?s home and in the outside plant.
New modular platform has been designed for use in a wide range of applications, equally suited to testing inside the home as for outside plant environments. Its high resolution, touch screen display and powerful processing capability delivers the most advanced test set on the market. Coupled with its ability to push data to almost any external location, Tech-X Flex offers a level of capability normally associated with a PC?not a test set with such a small form factor.
In-home network is considered one of the last major hurdles service providers will have to overcome to efficiently deliver Triple Play services to the consumer. Previously, the in-home network was the responsibility of the consumer. However, providers have spent billions of dollars on both network and access infrastructure. They now view the in-home network as a potential stumbling block which can mean keeping or losing subscribers. The high penetration of cable TV and satellite services has resulted in ready-to-use network installations of coaxial cabling within the subscriber home. New technologies such as MoCA and HPNA have been developed to operate on these networks and allow high-speed transfer of video between devices within the home.
New in-home technologies come additional requirements for maintaining and troubleshooting. Tech-X Flex provides a complete set of test features to ensure any problems within the home are diagnosed and resolved in an efficient and timely manner?ensuring ultimate customer satisfaction.

WEB BROWSER
The Web Browser allows technicians to verify Web connectivity from within the customer premise over the 802.11 (WiFi) or 10/100 Ethernet connections. This removes the need for the technician to carry the laptop to the customer premise to prove the service. Although Ping and TraceRoute functions may provide connectivity to destinations across the internet, they do not guarantee the absence of DNS issues which may be hampering your customer?s attempts to access various Web sites.
A high resolution, color display and touch screen allow the Web Browser to be used as a configuration tool for either the customer?s home router or any central office Web-based portals. This further eliminates the need for removing the laptop from the truck.
INTEGRATION
Tech-X Flex has been designed with integration in mind. Integration to local PCs, integration to back office systems. In fact, anything that a field technician?s laptop normally integrates with.
802.11
The WiFi link from the home router is often viewed as a problematic area for service providers. Using an integrated 802.11 modem, Tech-X Flex can help troubleshoot issues related to the connection link as well as providing the capability to test over that link using tests such as Ping, TraceRoute , Packet Loss, Throughput and Web browser.
Tech-X Flex allows the technician to validate the consumer?s network is configured, as it should be by way of verifying the SSID name, channel usage and encryption type used. Signal strength measurements help locate areas within the home that may be suffering from poor coverage and detect interfering networks.
RESULTS STORAGE AND TRANSMISSION
Tech-X Flex offers unlimited storage capacity due to both the large internal memory and external capability via the USB slot. USB flash drives can be used for result storage, offering an inexpensive method for saving. All results are timestamped and stored in XML along with the test set?s serial number, and the technician?s name and ID number.
The retrieval of results from the Tech-X Flex differs from the normal method of hooking up a PC to pull the results from the test set. Tech-X Flex is easily configurable to have all results automatically pushed from the Tech-X Flex when they are saved. These results can be sent via Ethernet or 802.11. The field technician decides whether the results are sent to a back-office database, to a laptop in the truck or e-mailed to a supervisor.
