End-to-End FTTH/PON Testing: Exploring the Innovative Link-Aware Fixed and Portable Approach

With bandwidth demand increasing much faster than revenues, providers must find ways to quickly connect more homes to their FTTH networks to market their services as soon as possible. This leads to new challenges such as migrating copper technicians to fiber-pant testing as well as hiring and training a significant number of new technicians, with limited fiber-testing knowledge.

With fewer experienced technicians who can efficiently test and troubleshoot fiber, misdiagnoses and incorrect characterizations are bound to happen–leading to turn-up failures and repeat truck rolls, which have a direct impact on OPEX.

Is there an innovative link-validation method that requires fewer, less skilled technicians and less test equipment? Is it possible to certify a complete or partial link from the central office only? Does a method that can solve all these issues exist? Listen to this in-house webinar  to learn how EXFO’s iOLM and Fiber Guardian Node iOLM solutions can help make your operations timely, successful and cost-effective, from the node to the field.
