Fluke Networks has unveiled a new edition of LinkWare Live, the cloud-based cable certification project management service. LinkWare Live Professional builds on LinkWare Live Essentials and further streamlines workflow for contractor project managers and field technicians, providing cabling certification project status on any smart, mobile device. LinkWare Live Professional supports browser-based, remote tester configuration and real-time reconciliation between the project manager’s test set-up and the field technician’s uploaded results.

Project managers gain more visibility and control on the job site, ensuring their cabling installation projects will be finished on time, leading to more satisfied and faster-paying customers.

Fluke Networks pioneered the direct tester-to-cloud connection with LinkWare Live Essentials, enabling contractors to upload copper and fibre certification test results straight from testers in the field, eliminating wasted time and cutting the risk of lost or corrupt test results.

LinkWare Live Professional builds on those capabilities by offering two-way interaction among the always-mobile project manager, technicians and their test equipment to eliminate errors and monitor job progress. They can now set up new jobs for multiple testers, assign cable IDs and configure test limits with just a few keystrokes, and push them to the cloud for access by testers anywhere in the world.

Once the job is complete, field technicians upload the results directly from the tester to the LinkWare Live cloud service, which automatically assigns copper and fibre test results to the correct project. Project managers can easily verify that results comply with the set-up configuration they deployed to their testers and technicians in the field and then more quickly generate LinkWare Reports to deliver to their customer.

LinkWare Live Professional streamlines contractor workflows and accelerates payment through a variety of new features including: two-way communication between the tester and the cloud; simple browser-based test set-up and configuration with the ability to generate cable IDs; test set-up corrections and updates to Versiv devices in the field; notifications of incorrect test settings; free storage of up to 200,000 copper or 10,000 fibre results (links) or a combination of the two.
