New rugged, handheld CX100 ComXpert for field testing

This portable test set is a reliable, efficient solution for military radio maintainers and technicians as well as land mobile radio (LMR) technicians who need to perform testing of infrastructure, cables, antennas, and tactical, handheld, or vehicle-mounted radios in the field.

The CX100 will be on display at VIAVI Booth #F4 at AOC Europe, Bonn, Germany, 15—17 May 2023.

Maintainers and technicians responsible for tactical and LMR networks often work in rugged environments where it is not practical or possible to bring larger bench top equipment. The CX100 is designed to address this challenge by providing users a handheld, ruggedised and fully featured communication service monitor that includes a 6GHz frequency range, one-port Vector Network Analyser, built-in spectrum analyser, and connectivity to the VIAVI Mobile Tech App which simplifies the testing process.

“We’re pleased to announce the launch of our CX100 ComXpert, which builds on our 50-year history of excellence in the radio test industry,” said Edward Latimer, Director, Radio Test, VIAVI. “Featuring industry-leading specifications and performance, all packed into a MIL-PRF-28800 Class 2 portable package, the CX100 enables comprehensive testing from the bench to the field. Technicians and maintainers can rest assured that their radios and communication systems will operate at their best.”
