TechComplete Home Certification Testing Solution

With the VIAVI TechComplete Home Certification Testing Solution, the DSAM family of test instruments is able to provide electronic methods and procedures that automate home certification testing on the instrument, reduce capital expenditures, and eliminate costly rework. Results are uploaded remotely over the existing RF plant's DOCSIS® channel to a central, management-accessible results database. By enforcing consistent and clear procedures for home certification testing, uploading results immediately to a central database, integrating test results with work order detail, and providing reports on the test data, operators can significantly reduce their repeat service call rates. This saves valuable time and money as well as proactively establishes a repeatable quality work process. In addition, it also improves customer satisfaction by ensuring that the service call is done correctly the first time. When combining the DSAM Home Certification option in conjunction with TechComplete Test Productivity Pack (TPP)software, a complete end-to-end solution is attained.
