EX10 - Multigigabit residential & business services tester

Validate bandwidth speeds up to full line rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet, test residential WiFi 6E and monitor residential quality of experience

Spec sheet User manual

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 WiFi 6E to monitor residential quality of experience (QoE).

The right features for the right application

The EX10 comes with three comprehensive bundles—each designed to fulfill the application at hand.

Validate customer service-level agreements (SLAs) and prove that services are delivered as promised. From 1G to 10G, the EX10 provides reliable and repeatable metrics along with the birth certificate to share with the subscriber.

Ensure full and seamless user-experience to subscribers by leveraging the EX10’s WiFi capabilities. Guarantee 8K video streaming—for each room in the dwelling—while working at home. The EX10 supports the latest WiFi 6E technology, making it now possible to validate WiFi speeds greater than 1G, everywhere on customer premises.

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.

WiFi validation

The EX10 can validate WiFi 4, 5, 6 and cutting-edge WiFi 6E 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 WiFi troubleshooting

The EX10 can also utilize advanced troubleshooting techniques, including a room-by-room view of WIFI 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 WiFi issues. Technicians can also use the dedicated WiFi 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 WiFi issues, such as moving (or repositioning) the router, changing channels or using extenders.
