Argus 145 plus

Triple Play + xDSL Combitester

The ARGUS 145 plus is a first-class universal tester that meets the highest technical demands. It is the only handheld tester and analyzer to integrate all interfaces for VDSL2 (all profiles), ADSL (Annex A, B, J, L, M) and SHDSL (2-, 4- and 8-wire), Ethernet, ISDN PRI/E1, BRI S/T/U and POTS in a single measurement device – without having to swap modules.

If required, the numerous interfaces can be extended by further functions. For example the SHDSL interface also operates in SHDSL.bis (Enhanced SHDSL) – as well as in ATM, TDM or EFM modes. Copper tests (Cu tests) for physical line qualification without synchronization to a DSLAM are always included: with a high-ohmic connection, the Line Scope can be used for a passive real-time analysis both in the time and frequency domains. Thanks to a spectrum analysis (DMT Analysis), the power spectral density (PSD) and noise can also be measured.

With its optional Triple Play test functions, the ARGUS 145 plus can be used to verify VoIP, IPTV and data services via xDSL and Ethernet. The ARGUS 145 plus not only simulates terminal equipment such as a phone, PC or set-top box (STB), it also determines all relevant quality of service parameters and evaluates, as a digital lineman’s handset, the voice quality delivering a MOS value. IPTV suitability is tested by means of STB emulation, Video on Demand (VoD) test, channel scan, Media Delivery Index (MDI) or IPTV long-term analysis.

The ARGUS 145 plus is extremely user-friendly thanks to its large 320 x 240 pixel color display and long-life Li-ion battery pack.
