EX10 - Multigigabit residential & business services tester

Overview
EX10 is a multigigabit residential and business services tester that validates bandwidth speeds up to full line rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet, tests residential Wi-Fi 7 and monitors residential quality of experience.

Key features

  • Multigigabit validation including 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gigabit interfaces (powered by Speedtest® by Ookla®)
  • Latency, download and upload throughput performance metrics with adjustable pass/fail thresholds based on subscribers’ purchased plans
  • SFP/SFP+ interface for Speedtest over fiber
  • Wi-Fi 7 testing (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands)
  • Supports GPON, XGS-PON with PON ID, ONU ID and transmit optical loss (TOL) and optical distribution network (ODN) loss
  • Smart loopback (EX10-PRO and EX10-PRO-7 only)

Applications

  • Broadband validation
  • QoE: validate core services
  • WiFi optimization

Highlights

A robust device for installers

The EX10 helps onsite technicians easily validate bandwidth speeds up to full line rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet (including GPON, XGS-PON) and test residential Wi-Fi 7 to monitor residential quality of experience (QoE).

Wired

The EX10 is the first device to include all cutting-edge multigigabit interfaces in a simple yet unique tester that anyone with a smart device can use. It has the capability of turning up 1, 2.5, 5 or even 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for validating broadband access.

Smart loopback

With the EX10-PRO and EX10-PRO-7, you can now use the unit as a reflector, up to layer 4. Use the EX10 with an Ethernet or multiservice FTBx tester module or any unit transmitting at the other end to validate throughput in your network. 

Wi-Fi validation

The EX10 can validate Wi-Fi 4, 5, 6, 6E and cutting-edge Wi-Fi 7 delivery from room to room. The device uses Speedtest ® by Ookla ® to determine whether a room can support video streaming of HD, 4K and even upcoming 8K resolution. All rooms can be validated for proper delivery of over-the-top (OTT) video streaming services. 

Advanced Wi-Fi troubleshooting

The EX10 can also utilize advanced troubleshooting techniques, including a room-by-room view of Wi-Fi channel metrics. It has the capability of retrieving the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and the channel utilization data from access points, when available, enabling technicians to accurately diagnose Wi-Fi issues. Technicians can also use the dedicated Wi-Fi test application to capture snapshots of critical information such as RSSI, channel utilization and BSSID—and tagging each room where these snapshots are taken.

All snapshots are integrated into a single report, offering technicians valuable insights for resolving Wi-Fi issues, such as moving (or repositioning) the router, changing channels or using extenders.
