Highly portable and rugged device offers high levels of functionality in a compact form-factor

Conrad Business Supplies has announced the immediate availability of a new network troubleshooting tool from Ideal Industries Networks Division.

The new NaviTEK NT is a network tester for troubleshooting and maintenance of active and passive copper and fibre networks.



Incorporating an improved graphical interface NaviTEK NT allows network technicians to pinpoint and solve network connectivity issues within complex network infrastructure faster than ever before.

The sophisticated handheld device offers a comprehensive suite of test and troubleshooting functionality only found on dedicated hand-held testers including the ability to work with copper and fibre networks.

The NaviTEK NT easily detects services such as ISDN, POTS and PoE as well as providing fast detection of link and IP information including duplex, speed, port ID, VLAN, DNS, DHCP, Gateway status and IP address.

When a fault occurs the device delivers accurate wire mapping including length measurement and an indication of the distance to any fault.

The rugged, compact design permits use in confined spaces such as those found in most wiring cabinets.

The free IDEAL AnyWare app allows three different report types to be generated and customised with job information. Using the built-in wireless hotspot the NaviTEK NT allows these reports to be easily and quickly transferred to a mobile device and then transferred anywhere via email or FTP, or simply stored on a USB device or in the cloud.

Commenting on the product launch, Julian Magnano, Product Manager at Conrad Business Supplies, said: “We see a significant demand for the NaviTEK NT within our extensive customer base. Whether it is for network professionals who are seeking a compact and portable high-performance tool or larger businesses with their own IT departments, the NaviTEK NT is sure to be an asset in keeping the all-important computer networks working correctly.”
