Fast and Reliable Measurement tool for Tactical Communication
Micropol Launches mesurement tool, OptiScan, at DSEI
At the international defence exhibition DSEI, Micropol introduces OptiScan – a rugged, easy-to-use optical fiber measurement tool designed for the most demanding tactical communication environments.
Developed and tested in close collaboration with the Swedish Armed Forces, OptiScan enables fast and accurate verification of tactical fiber networks – from command-and-control systems to advanced radar systems.
With the ability to test up to 12 channels simultaneously in just 30 seconds, OptiScan delivers a dramatic time saving compared to conventional optical power meters. It supports the most popular optical connectors, including Micropol’s FALCON™ and PROCON™ expanded beam solutions, as well as HMA, HMC and others. The tool can measure multiple cable reels connected in series, check links while cables are still on the reel, and operate in extreme conditions from -20°C to +55°C.
OptiScan features two measurement modes:
- Loop Mode – Quick functional checks with a simple “Approved/Failed” result, requiring no interpretation.
- Link Mode – Precise attenuation measurement for each fiber, ideal for troubleshooting and performance verification.
Designed for single-person operation, the complete field kit includes a charger, loopback plug, cleaning kit and rugged IP67 case. Already trusted by the Swedish Armed Forces – one of the most digitalized in the world – Optiscan ensures mission-critical networks remain operational before, during and after deployment.
Strengthening the team with new key colleagues
Micropol Fiberoptic is growing rapidly, driven by an increased global demand for fiber optic solutions. To meet this expansion, we are investing in both our production capacity and our people. As a result, several new talent colleagues have joined Micropol in recent weeks.
New production and office facility in Halmstad is taking shape.
An exciting step forward for Micropol – our new headquarters and production facility in Halmstad is now visibly coming to life. Last week, construction reached an important milestone as the first walls were lifted into place.
