ARGUS44 allows the installer to confirm that the promised ADSL service is being properly delivered to the subscriber. Determine the ADSL Quality-of-Service within seconds by receiving from the ATU-C the ADSL connection rates and noise margins at the customer premises.

Check through the network if the wiring does allow ADSL service by connecting the battery powered ARGUS44 at various points at the end point, at the junction box, at the cross box... and optimise the localloop.

See immediately the ADSL transmission spectrum on the graphics screen of ARGUS44 and find degraded spectral regions by interfering noise sources.
