“Network operations play an essential role in building and managing the network of the future, enabling those deployments in access networks,” NetScout said when announcing the LinkRunner G2. “But with limited resources and tight budgets, these teams need tools that can help them improve their productivity through faster installation, quicker upgrades, and the rapid identification of issues.”
The company’s chief operating officer, Michael Szabados, commented, “As the world’s leading network connectivity tester, LinkRunner provides immediate visibility and value to professionals responsible for delivering reliable network services. The novel combination of LinkRunner G2’s Ethernet test capabilities with a hardened Android operating system simplifies and streamlines installation and troubleshooting workflows and automates manual processes, significantly improving efficiencies in network operations.”
LinkRunner G2 combines the use of vendor-specific mobile apps and LinkRunner’s custom hardware, meaning “network professionals can now execute their entire workflow on a single device,” NetScout says. “They can receive a trouble ticket, review documentation, test loaded PoE and network services, automatically document the results, and configure and triage connected devices.”
