Embedded OTDR: Troubleshooting at the speed of light
Service providers have invested heavily in fiber infrastructure to meet increased demand for residential and business services. Fiber cables are built to resist a variety of outdoor factors, but faults can happen - affecting service delivery for large numbers of users. Alcatel-Lucent's embedded OTDR innovation provides fiber monitoring and troubleshooting to prevent this from happening.
Alcatel-Lucent's solution collects and analyzes network parameters to provide a comprehensive view of the network at all times. It is integrated in the PON access node and Motive Network Analyzer-Fiber, vastly improving on external fiber monitoring solutions, which are costly and operationally challenging.
