Instrument services
To maintain your organization’s long-term investment, Acterna will structure
a service plan to fit your network performance goals and budget. Acterna
understands the impact of equipment down time on operations and is staffed
to ensure a quick turnaround. Available services include the following:
Product Repair — All equipment returned for service is tested to the same
rigorous standards as newly manufactured equipment. This ensures products
meet all published specifications, including any applicable product updates.
Calibration — Acterna’s calibration methods are ISO 9001 approved and
based on NIST standards. Each calibration comes with a dated certificate,
instrument stickers, and a data sheet.
Factory Upgrades — Any unit returned for a hardware feature enhancement
will also receive applicable product updates and will be thoroughly tested,
ensuring peak performance of the complete feature set.
Software Enhancement Agreements — These agreements assist in
keeping equipment up to date with the latest software features, by providing
automatic notification of any new software enhancements and changes for
Acterna products.
Product Maintenance Agreements — Yearly service and calibration
maintenance agreements simplify billing and help ensure the equipment is
always operating at optimum levels. Product maintenance agreements can
be used to extend a current warranty or provide protection for out-of-warranty
units.
Other Pricing Options — For out-of-warranty repairs, Acterna offers two
additional pricing options: time and material pricing and flat rate pricing.
