professional test reports can be created and shared without connecting to a 
separate computer.

Q4: What is the dynamic range of the YOKOGAWA AQ1000?
A: The AQ1000 provides 32dB at 1310nm and 30dB at 1550nm — suitable for 
FTTH access network testing over typical last-mile distances.

Q5: What built-in functions does the AQ1000 include?
A: The AQ1000 includes a built-in PC, light source (LS), and visual light 
source (VLS) — providing multiple fiber test functions in a single device.

Q6: How long does the AQ1000 battery last?
A: The 7.4V / 4.4Ah Li-ion battery provides 5.5 hours of continuous operation.

💡 AQ1000 vs AQ1210A — Which YOKOGAWA OTDR Is Right for You?

The AQ1000 ($2,499) is the smart choice for FTTH field teams who prioritize ease of use, wireless connectivity, and built-in PDF reporting. The AQ1210A ($3,099) offers higher dynamic range (37/35dB vs 32/30dB) for longer-range testing and adds USB fiber inspection probe support — better suited for metro and longer-haul network testing.
