Fluke Networks’ LinkWare Live Cloud-based Certification Project Management Service Surpasses 100 Million Report Uploads

May 16, 2023 - Network certification testing demonstrates networks are installed correctly and meet manufacturer warranty requirements, providing contractors with proof that their work was done correctly. LinkWare Live, the world’s leading cloud-connected cable certification platform, allows contractors to manage test results and equipment, as well as generate reports. In April, the platform passed a significant milestone: since launch, more than 100 million test results have been uploaded. 
 
“The rapid growth of LinkWare Live—up over 30% in the last 12 months—validates the far-reaching benefits it is giving contractors on a consistent basis,” stated Mark Mullins, product marketing manager and founding member of Fluke Networks. “It enables them to work more efficiently and saves operational costs in the certification process and provides their customers with assurance that the network complies with manufacturer warranty requirements.”   
 
LinkWare Live is an included feature for Fluke Networks’ customers and their customers and works with the company’s Versiv product line to certify the performance of installed copper and fiber links. It provides a complete solution for contractors managing the process of certifying installed cabling, including:

• Centralized tester setup: Project managers can define the tests in advance for technicians on one or more testers remotely, keeping any miscommunications to a minimum, helping to eliminate mistakes and errors made by technicians operating in the field.
• Management of cable identifiers: Cable IDs can be set up centrally and loaded to remote testers, along with labelers from Brady, Brother, Dymo, and Epson, ensuring consistent labeling and reporting.
• Remote upload of results: Results can be uploaded from field testers via Wi-Fi, eliminating the drive back to the office and the risk of loss from accidental erasure or theft.
• Results management and tracking: Uploaded results are assigned to the correct job, saving administrative work in the office. Managers can track job progress from their mobile phones, keeping things on track.
• Tester tracking and status: LinkWare Live tracks the last known location and calibration status of each tester, for effective asset management.
