EXFO introduces floating test licences

EXFO announced the launch of FTB Anywhere, a shared test licence capability for the FTB platform ecosystem. This innovative approach to delivering advanced test applications enables network operators to purchase a certain number of cloud-hosted licences that can be shared by their technicians, whenever and wherever they are located.
FTB Anywhere is the latest application available for EXFO Connect, a cloud-based solution designed around the specific needs of installation and maintenance teams who are looking to reduce the operational costs of managing their test equipment, as well as to maximise the value of their test results.
The EXFO Connect solution enables operators to leverage their investment of EXFO’s FTB platforms (FTB-1, FTB-200, FTB-500) by automating software upgrades, distribution of test configurations, asset inventory and reporting to ensure process compliance and that all platforms and configurations are up to date and consistent throughout the entire test equipment pool.
With the introduction of FTB Anywhere, operators can now scale the test capabilities of their FTB ecosystem platforms in just minutes, avoiding the time and expense of traditional factory-based upgrades. This approach provides operators with the flexibility to purchase any number of cloud-hosted, floating test licences, which can be made available to any FTB platform on an at-need basis when and where required.
In addition, any floating test licence can be activated from the FTB platform itself, which mitigates costly delays by ensuring that field technicians will always have the proper feature set to complete the job.
