Fiber - monitoring

USE
CASE

4

  • The fiber network infrastructure is essential for 5G, with performance issues potentially affecting 5G SLAs and mission-critical use cases
  • How can MNOs monitor fiber performance in a cost-effective manner?

Challenge

  • Nova Fiber* + Professional Services
    *OTDR-based
  • For cost-effective monitoring of the fiber network infrastructure used by the transport domain (e.g., front/mid/back-haul, metro, etc.) in any network, incl. 5G
Urban design

Solution

Note: only part of the solution may be considered in practice, while other EXFO SASS solutions are relevant too (e.g., Nova SensAI)

  • Today (case study) – Innovative operator, APAC
    Using EXFO’s solution to proactively identify and resolve fiber network issues while reducing costly site visits, especially to remote areas
  • Soon – Reliance on ML/AI for more effective, incl. predictive, fiber monitoring and issue identification
