Case Study: 46th Test Squadron Eglin Air Force Base achieves faster network troubleshooting and mission-critical communications with VIAVI Solutions Observer Platform

46th Test Squadron Eglin Air Force Base - Customer Case Study

The 46th Test Squadron at Eglin Air Force Base needed a reliable way to test and validate mission-critical command, control, communications, and VoIP systems supporting defense operations, disaster response, and war games. VIAVI Solutions provided the Observer Platform, including Observer Analyzer, to help the team analyze complex military networks and ensure systems would perform properly when it mattered most.

With VIAVI Solutions’ Observer Platform, the squadron could drill down into network and application issues, reassemble conversations, review port-to-port traffic, and assess metrics like MOS and response times across airborne, mobile, and ground systems. The result was faster troubleshooting, improved system validation, and major performance gains in some cases—from about one hour to about one minute—while also saving significant time, effort, and costly test events.
