AVIAT’S HOSTED FAS EXPERT SERVICE
Your turnkey solution for network interference management
Hosted FAS is based on Aviat’s patent-pending FAS Expert System, which is
custom-built to monitor and detect interference, perform trend analysis of
the network over time to track interference, and isolate problem links before
noticeable impacts occur.
In addition to providing customers with a self-service portal to view their
interference events and trends, Hosted FAS will also deliver analysis from
Aviat engineers on interference issues. For more complicated interference
issues, Aviat is ready to offer field investigation services for both Continuous
& Intermittent interference issues.
