DESCRIPTION

The VIAVI CellAdvisor 5G is a field-portable cell site test platform engineered to validate, deploy, maintain, and troubleshoot modern wireless networks. Designed specifically for 5G radio access network deployment, the platform combines spectrum analysis, beam analysis, fibre testing, cable and antenna verification, and interference analysis into a single integrated solution.

The platform is optimized for:

• 5G cell site installation
• 5G commissioning
• 5G maintenance
• LTE and LTE-A validation
• O-RAN deployment verification
• Massive MIMO testing
• Active antenna validation
• RF interference analysis
• PIM detection
• Fronthaul verification

CellAdvisor 5G enables technicians to validate all physical interfaces found at a modern wireless site including:

• RF interfaces
• Fibre interfaces
• Coax interfaces
• CPRI links
• Radio access network infrastructure

from a single portable platform.

The system incorporates real-time spectrum analysis and advanced interference hunting capabilities, allowing identification of intermittent and difficult-to-locate RF impairments affecting network performance. Real-time persistence displays and spectrogram analysis provide visibility into transient interference sources commonly encountered in dense RF environments.

For 5G deployment activities, the platform includes dedicated:

• 5G Carrier Scanner
• 5G Beam Analyzer
• 5G Route Map

applications which allow technicians to measure carrier power, beam power, beam identification, signal quality, and coverage performance during deployment and optimization activities.

The CellAdvisor 5G platform supports beamforming and massive MIMO verification while providing visibility into individual beam IDs, beam power levels, and signal-to-noise performance. These capabilities are critical for validating modern 5G NR deployments utilizing active antenna systems.

Cloud integration through StrataSync enables centralized asset management, software control, project reporting, and test result management, simplifying project closeout and operational workflows.
