VIAVI’s Latest in Antenna Alignment Enters Australia
As Australia’s telecommunications and infrastructure sectors
continue to accelerate, the tools to facilitate them must do the same.
Developments in cloud computing, 5G and the NBN have all created
further need for more accurate and reliable technology from brands like VIAVI –
a leader in its field – and products like 3Z RF Vision have answered the
call.
Recently, the RF Vision antenna alignment tool was approved by
more companies for use in the Australian market, bringing with it a range of
benefits for the everyday technician.
TMG is proud to be VIAVI’s only master distributor to Australian
contractors and we take this responsibility seriously. If you need support with

RF Vision Introduces Line-of-sight
One might think such a simple addition would have been integrated
years ago, but the RF Vision is the first and only antenna alignment tool of
its kind with a camera for line-of-sight surveying.
This feature offers greater clarity and simplifies the alignment
process by not only aligning the antenna, but also by giving the user a visual
guide.
Generally, the environment surrounding antennae is ever-evolving
as buildings and trees change. This of course affects your antenna coverage,
and the RF Vision allows for more simplified visualisation of such
changes.
Super-fast GPS Lock
Long before the RF Vision or its predecessors were developed,
technicians relied on compasses to align their antennas. But we’ve come a long
way since then.
The arrival and approval of the RF Vision within Australia brings
with it the market’s fastest GPS lock for antenna alignment. This reduces even
more time that had previously been spent on the task, allowing technicians to
complete more work in the same amount of time.
The tool uses GNSS dual-frequency technology to measure the three
key parameters of antenna alignment — azimuth, tilt and roll.
Then, if the results displayed on the 5-inch touchscreen aren’t
big enough for your liking, they can be generated in a PDF report to be shared
from any smart device.
Any Smart Device?
That’s right, the RF Vision connects with Android and iOS apps on
any smart device, removing any need for post-processing time. The results are
sent straight to your preferred device or transferred via a built-in micro-USB
port.
These reports will include your target coordinates and the actual
alignment data collected. You’ll also find site sector identifiers, geocoding
and geolocation, line-of-sight photos, as well as a time and date stamp.
Too Much to Handle?
If this all seems too good to be true, or too much to process in
one handheld device, never fear. The RF Vision has been designed to be easy to
use for even the most inexperienced technicians – everyone must start
somewhere!
The tool is protected with a rubber guard and a rubber design, so
even the clumsiest user can’t damage it. Its small design also enables portability,
and the sunlight-readable screen completes its all-weather usability.
Veteran technicians may enjoy visualising every data point through
the touch-screen display and seeing the alignment happen in front of their
eyes. These everyday jobs will feel like a breeze instead of a chore with the
RF Vision.
