IDEAL Networks, manufacturer of cable and network testers, has introduced a free app that allows field
technicians to share test data with colleagues and mobile devices. Used with the new LanTEK® III cable
certifier, which can serve as a Wi-Fi hotspot, this helps increase productivity and reduce downtime.
