FiBLU is a new generation app‑based, fiber certification solution that shifts intelligence from fixed hardware to a smartphone app. FiBLU fundamentally changes how fiber testing is done—making it faster, more collaborative and dramatically more cost‑effective over the life of the network.
Bluetooth
FiBLU communicates wirelessly with the UniBLU mobile app using Bluetooth, allowing the dedicated optical measurement hardware to be controlled from a compatible smartphone or tablet. The documented interface uses WPAN 2.4 GHz Bluetooth, with Bluetooth v4.2 or higher specified.
This wireless architecture separates the precision optical hardware from the user interface. Engineers can position the FiBLU hardware at the fiber connection while controlling tests, reviewing results and managing project information from their mobile device.
Smartphone
The smartphone is an integral part of the FiBLU platform rather than simply an accessory or secondary display. Precision optical measurement remains within FiBLU hardware, while the UniBLU app provides the interface, processing, connectivity and testing workflow around it.
This allows FiBLU to make use of familiar smartphone capabilities for navigation, data entry and project management. UniBLU is available for both iOS and Android, giving engineers a familiar mobile environment from which to configure tests, perform certification and manage results.
Cloud
FiBLU’s cloud capability connects field testing with the wider project team. Through UniBLU integration with Google Drive or OneDrive, authorised users can access synchronised Projects, Jobs and test results within the organisation’s cloud environment rather than relying on files stored only on an individual tester.
Role-based access supports Owners, Managers, Operators and Viewers, allowing organisations to control who configures projects, performs testing, monitors progress or simply reviews results. This makes FiBLU particularly useful for projects involving multiple engineers, locations or supervisory teams.
Offline Mode
FiBLU’s core testing capability does not depend on an active internet connection. UniBLU can perform testing and store test data locally on the smartphone while offline, allowing engineers to continue certification in areas where mobile or Wi-Fi coverage is unavailable.
Projects and Jobs can therefore exist locally on the device, with the app clearly distinguishing locally stored data from cloud-synchronised data. Internet connectivity is required when cloud synchronisation, firmware updates or account-management functions are needed.
Enhance your testing capabilities with our advanced OTDR test adapters. Designed to seamlessly integrate with both NSA and TestPro systems, these adapters are the perfect solution for accurate and reliable fiber optic testing.
