Pure muscle. Whatever the size.

There’s nothing like raw processing power to get the job done. That’s why we have equipped all three FTB platforms with Intel processors, packing optimal processing speed for all applications. Whatever the size of your platform, you don’t have to worry about performance.

EXFO's FTB platforms offer ultra-fast processing and multitasking.

The latest Intel processor allows FTB platforms to run 10 times faster than previous generations.

Multitasking where others can’t.

Thanks to a Windows-based OS and strong processing power, you can run all your applications simultaneously on the FTB platforms—in real time. You can toggle between them and avoid wasting precious time reloading applications.

Application Running

  • GPS Coordinates
  • The Wireshark Network Analyzer
  • Component Services
  • Administrative Tools
  • Local Area Connection Properties
  • User Account
  • Internet Properties
  • Mini ToolBox
Multitasking

In FTTH or mobile backhaul environments where you need to diagnose link problems or establish pass/fail status for connectors, you can combine solutions like the iOLM and ConnectorMax applications.

 

 

Utilities that speed up your day-to-day.

In your typical work day, some tasks can become tedious and time-consuming. Which is why we feel that you can use these utilities to fast-track your everyday test cycles. Sometimes, little things do make a difference.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth File Transfer

Share files from your FTB platform to any Bluetooth-enabled device.

Bluetooth

Update Manager

Your platforms are connected.

The value of connectivity resides in the ability to connect your platform anywhere at any time. That’s why we have equipped our platforms with the technology to be as flexible as possible. Whether to transfer data to the cloud, to a device or to acquire a platform’s location via GPS, you have what it takes.
