The Viavi QT-600 is a carrier-grade, scalable, Ethernet probe that delivers the test and troubleshooting capabilities required to deploy Ethernet with confidence. An integral component of the Viavi NetComplete® Service Assurance Solution, the QT-600 reduces operations costs with its streamlined service turn-up process and rapid segmentation abilities that quickly identify the source of the problem. The detailed test results generated by the QT-600 give service providers the confidence to guarantee service-level performance. Converting this information into proactive measures has a positive impact—building greater customer retention and loyalty and contributing to reduced operational costs by decreasing the deployment of multiple technicians to remote locations.
