CPRIAdvisor CAP-100 and CAE-100
CPRIAdvisor
TM
is Viavi’s interference monitoring solution composed with a stationary type Probe unit
(CAP-100), Expansion unit (CAE-100), and a remote controlling and monitoring program (CAM-100).
Viavi’s CAP-100 is a key solution that has 16 optical ports to receive 16 optical inputs to perform
RFoCPRI spectrum monitoring. The CAP-100 can store thousands of CPRI profiles and RRH
information and can monitor all uplinks and detect RSSI or PIM alarm. This enables you to manage
and check the impacted sectors or base stations by interference.
You can use a CAE-100 that has 1x36 optical port to extend capacity of CAP-100 for C-RAN
application where more than hundreds of BBU are in a central office. CAP-100 can control up to 16
CAE-100 to expand the optical input capacity up to 576 optical ports.
Using CAM-100, you can easily track down the source of interference by comparing spectrum of
multiple impacted sectors.
