- 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
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
