From the end of March 2021, IDEAL Networks will become TREND Networks. In re-branding to TREND Networks, this better reflects TREND Networks' vision, mission and goals. Over four decades, TREND Networks has launched numerous innovations, from telegraph testers to telex machines, data transmission analysers and ISDN testers. We're proud to remain strong partners of TREND Networks who offer a unique network tester range that helps to pinpoint and solve networking issues quickly. We will continue to supply TREND Networks' products, helping to decrease downtime and resolve network connectivity issues such as incorrect IP configuration, rogue network services, network bandwidth issues and PoE supply problems. While TREND Networks is a new rebrand, it's also important for our customers and partners to know that our dedicated team remains unchanged and that the products such as LanTEK are unaffected by the name change – you will still have access to our full range of industry-leading solutions. For more information, visit our website or contact us today. The future of cable certification – LanTEK IV Series The new LanTEK IV technology provides faster test times. Engineers and technicians can conduct and save a Cat6A test within seven seconds, assisted by the intuitive user interface and easy-to-use high resolution touchscreen. In addition, the tester’s enhanced functionality certifies links up to Cat8, including TCL and Resistance Unbalance and will sweep to 3000MHz, providing room for future ratified ISO and TIA test standards. LanTEK IV also provides the patent-pending VisiLINQ™ permanent link adapter, a new and unique way to test that allows users to initiate testing and view the results without even needing to hold the certifier. This allows technicians to work smarter, saving time and increasing productivity. The RJ45 tip on the VisiLINQ™ Permanent Link Modules is also field replaceable to reduce the cost of ownership. The new SignalTEK 10G measures the maximum bandwidth of the network cabling up to 10 Gigabits per second. By simulating actual network traffic, users can test, troubleshoot and document network and data cable performance up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet standards. SignalTEK 10G has built-in Wi-Fi connectivity to connect seamlessly to the free AnyWARE Cloud test management system. AnyWARE Cloud offers pre-configuration to eliminate errors onsite, label printer connectivity to save time and “proof of performance” PDF reports for the clients. The SignalTEK 10G is also a network tester for troubleshooting and maintenance of active As we’re starting to see more Wi-Fi 6 capable devices hit the market, the big question of whether to upgrade to Wi-Fi 6 is growing. Thanks to new technologies, Wi-Fi 6 enables routers to communicate simultaneously with more devices more efficiently, creating faster connections overall. With more of us working remotely than ever, Wi-Fi 6 could make the difference. Here, we take a look at how Wi-Fi 6 is performing compared to Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5 and provide a Wi-Fi overview to help you understand which Wi-Fi generation is best for your wireless network.
