PROMAX slashes prices: 4K Field Strength Meter and Fiber Optics at 2006 Rates

Telecommunications installers have a new opportunity to optimize their operating costs without compromising the quality of their measurement equipment. With the consolidation of FTTH networks in 2026, PROMAX introduces a disruptive solution: The selective fiber optics option for its TV EXPLORER NG field strength meter.

A selective optical power meter integrated into the field strength meter

Built-in selective optical power meter for TV EXPLORER NG field strength meters.

• Triple Selective Measurement: Unlike generic low-cost equipment that only measures total power, the TV EXPLORER NG simultaneously discriminates the three wavelengths required by most regulations (1310, 1490, and 1550 nm).
• Complies with ICT-2, DUCTOS, and RITEL regulations: Selective wavelength measurement is performed on the wavelengths standardized by international regulations.
• Pass/Fail Mode: The user connects an optical signal generator at the headend that provides the three standardized wavelengths, sets the allowable loss thresholds on the field strength meter, and the equipment instantly indicates if the outlet is compliant. Faster measurements, error-free.
• Full Datalogger Integration: Optical measurements are not isolated data. They are automatically saved in the field strength meter reports, allowing the certification of Digital TV quality (BER, MER) and optical network power in a single document.
• Optimized Cost: Thanks to PROMAX's experience in fiber optic engineering, an optimized hardware architecture has been achieved. By utilizing the processing unit of the TV EXPLORER NG meter, the most competitive price in the industry is offered without sacrificing accuracy.

The user connects an optical generator at the headend that generates the three standardized wavelengths, and measures the results on their TV EXPLORER NG using the selective optical measurement option and the PASS/FAIL meter.

In compliance with ICT-2, DUCTOS, and RITEL regulations. The demand for certification

International regulations ensure that the deployment of telecommunications infrastructure in any new or renovated building has a network prepared for ultra-fast broadband services. The TV EXPLORER NG de facto comply with ICT-2 (Spain), RITEL (Colombia) and DUCTOS (Chile) regulations.

Automatic PDF reports from the meter itself. Less bureaucracy for the installer.

Meeting legal requirements involves more than just signal reception. It is compulsory to provide measurement protocols or reports proving that attenuation stays within the legal limits. PROMAX field strength meters create PDF reports. Transfer directly from the meter to a USB stick, ensuring the installer focuses entirely on field tasks without wasting time on administration.

European engineering, cost-effective solutions

PROMAX is introducing the smart integration concept to lower the final product price: Having developed solutions for large-scale operators over the years, engineering overheads have been reduced, and this expertise enables us to pass these savings directly to the telecom installer.

The TV EXPLORER NG field strength meter was already renowned for its superb technology-to-price ratio; currently, with the fiber optics module, it has evolved into the definitive tool.

Benefits of the Integrated Solution

• Reduced Initial Cost: Eliminates the requirement for a separate optical power meter (OPM) and a field strength meter.
• Lower Maintenance: Only one instrument to calibrate, one battery to charge, and one software to update.
• No Training Required: Everything works under the same multi-touch user interface. Just as simple and intuitive as a mobile phone. No need to learn the operation of two separate meters.

The tool that the market has been calling for

By providing selective testing at the three standard wavelengths, the TV EXPLORER NG enables technicians to determine if a signal fault originates at the headend, within the optical network, or due to a poor fusion, instantly streamlining the troubleshooting process.

In a scenario where installation margins are narrow, the TV EXPLORER NG marks the boundary between profitability and losses caused by inefficiency.

PROMAX stands behind it as the most affordable solution, not only in terms of price but in terms of future-proofing: The TV EXPLORER NG, adapted to the real needs of the installer, features the technology required for current standards and those yet to come.
