ECSite, a software provider for test and measurement solutions of wireless network builds, announced ECSite Smart Load™, a cable tester accessory that is designed to simplify telecom coax cable testing. According to the company, ECSite Smart Load allows a single technician to fully verify every aspect of the cable’s operation and quality from one location, which was previously a manual process.

 According to Subbu Meiyappan, Founder and CEO of ECSite, ECSite Smart Load speeds up field testing five-times faster than the current manual process in the market and allows multiple band testing to be performed much faster since there is no requirement to change terminations in between tests. Used in conjunction with the ECSite App, Meiyappan said all the data moves to the cloud where customers can measure and monitor their wireless network builds.  

The software is Bluetooth-enabled and functions as a remotely controllable open/short/load/through (Remote OSLT) cable tester. With its 50-foot Bluetooth range, it is designed so that a field technician can switch the cable tester’s functions from a companion mobile app, available in the Apple App Store and Android Play Store. The mobile app allows the usage of the Smart Load to be tracked in real-time. Used in conjunction with the ECSite App, the operator can sequence through all cable tests resulting in a faster, more accurate and precise closeout package.

 “ECSite was founded on the principle to ‘Automate Everything’ in the telecom industry,” Meiyappan said. “We anticipate launching additional products and software that will enable the digital transformation that the industry has been seeking, bringing real-time visibility and analytics to the cloud.”
