VeEX® Introduces Industry’s First Remote Optical Test Tool for Fiber Network Construction and Maintenance

Home / Latest News

Fremont, Calif., March 21, 2025 – VeEX Inc., a global leader in innovative test and measurement solutions
for next-generation networks, today introduced the industry’s first remote Optical Test Tool (OTT)
designed to increase efficiency in optical distribution network construction verification.
With the increasing demand for fiber connectivity, communication service providers need smarter, faster
ways to build, test and troubleshoot optical distribution access networks. Traditionally, the building and
verification processes are slow and costly, requiring manual fiber testing, multiple trips, and several
technicians.

The new patent-pending OTT remote test companion switch simplifies this process by directing any test
signal source fed to its input towards the desired Distribution (F2) fiber, all at the control of the field
technician at the far-end. Designed for field operations at the optical splitter cabinet, the innovative OTT
One-Tech-Out approach allows a single technician to set it up with multiple fiber drop connections. The
technician can then remotely control it using any mobile phone while testing the F2 fiber at each Fiber
Serving Terminal (FST).

Key Features:
• Remote switching of test signal to as many as 32 Distribution fibers
• Simple control and operation; no apps or configuration required
• Field portable, battery operated
• Intuitive LED status indicators
• IoT remote connectivity
• Geo-location (GPS) capabilities
• Standard USB-C port

“The development of the OTT was driven by valuable feedback from key Tier 1 customers, highlighting
the need for enhanced scalability and efficiencies to support the rapid expansion of fiber access
networks,” said Monica Hua, VeEX Product Manager. “We actively engaged with our customers to gain
insights into their challenges and workflows, allowing us to tailor a solution that effectively addresses their
needs. The OTT, along with our ‘One-Tech Out’ approach, significantly reduces the requirement for
multiple technicians and mitigates the need for repetitive trips to the splitter cabinet, resulting in an
expedited validation process, minimized errors, and decreased operational costs.”
