VIAVI Solutions' (NASDAQ:VIAV) portfolio of cable signal meters - including the VIAVI OneExpert and Trilithic DSP products - have been upgraded with leakage detection technology from Trilithic. VIAVI acquired Trilithic last August.

Trilithic home signal leakage detection uses a patented approach to leakage measurement to test the Aeronautical and LTE bands in both digital and analog cable systems. Using a handheld transmitter and a cable signal meter equipped with an antenna and applicable firmware, a technician can locate and repair leaks. Adding the detection function to the installation/service meter offers a consolidated instrument solution for service activation functions.

"RF integrity in the home is an often overlooked source of issues affecting both network quality and subscriber satisfaction," said Kevin Oliver, vice president and general manager, Converged Instruments and Virtual Test, VIAVI Solutions. "Thanks to the addition of industry-leading home leakage detection to our technician-friendly instruments, locating leaks is no longer like looking for a needle in a haystack. Our customers will save on truck rolls, time spent on service calls, and subscriber retention."
