PON-monitoring

Tue, 04 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Customer story. PON monitoring.

Goal – to reduce the time of troubleshooting in the last mile of the PON network. The size of the network is more than 100 sites within a city, each site has more than 40+ PON lines.

Solution – Smart SFP OTDR module is installed in a free SFP slot of OLT at each site. When a fault is detected, the engineer on duty reconnects the fiber to the OTDR module for diagnostics.

Mini RFTS

Tue, 21 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Turn any switch into a mini RFTS (Remote Fiber Test System).

Just plug a few Smart SFP OTDRs into existing equipment.

Or build it from scratch based on a 5-port switch plus a few Smart SFP OTDRs.

Mix and match – dark fibers, light fibers, CWDM.
