Portable wireless CATV tester unit with solar panel

Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network system can transmit signal at a high speed level such as transmitting video, data and voice signals to the users. However, we do not know whether the send signals are in a good condition or not. Therefore, a Community Access Television, CATV tester device is needed. An upgrading from first generation CATV Tester Unit, a wireless technology is applied through the implementation of audio video transmitter and receiver. This tester will display the received signal on the display panel, if the signal received by the CATV tester device is accompanied by undesired signals and noises, it will then indicate that the main (FTTH trunk line) is probably damaged and needed to be repaired. With the application of wireless technology, video signal that is transmitted through fiber optic cable located in the underground can be simply detected and determined whether it is functioning or not. An addition of solar panel as battery charger for power saving is also applied.
