It is essential for network operators to have a transmission system that is highly available and reliable. Integrated network monitoring is crucial for today’s converged multi-service fiber optic networks
Remote Fiber Monitoring Systems (RFMS) help to provide zero defect service, to meet the expanding customer expectations on fiber optic network availability. RFMS helps the service providers to maintain the Quality of Service (QoS) while providing services without any intervention and to track the degradations that can lead to eventual failures. RFMS enables easier fiber cable testing and monitoring, through access to the entire fiber cable network from a central location for analysis and troubleshooting. It also helps in providing overall view of the network, resulting from the continuous and dynamic evaluation of network performance. Thus RFMS offers a cost effective operation resulting from the early diagnosis of fiber degradation or fiber faults.
Functions:
| |
 |
Proactively monitor of dark fibre and active fibre in Metro E and GPON networks. |
| |
|
Provides accurate measurement of the fault location. |
| |
|
Able to monitor fibre degradation over a period of time. |
| |
|
Able to test on demand on fibre condition and also trigger EMS alert whenever there is a change of fibre condition automatically. |
Benefits:
| |
|
Enable Carriers to pin point the fault location accurately and thus saving the cost and hassle of unnecessary and prolong investigation. |
| |
|
Able to integrate with GPS system and thus wrong or unnecessary digging of roads can be avoid. Thus improve the repair time and reduce down time to maintain customer satisfaction. |
