Remote monitoring of FTTx distribution line

OVERVIEW

Proactive maintenance in FTTx service with fiber optic Reflector

Monitoring system with fiber optic Reflector detects the slight fiber defects and tells us its precise place. The proactive monitoring using the monitoring system and Reflector before the network service error makes the following benefits.

• Reduce the maintenance cost
• Minimize MTTR and the penalty under SLA
• Improve the customer experiences of the network

Advantages for passive optical network wholesalers

• One time installation
• Hassle free maintenance
• Easy to detect failure

Benefits for internet service providers & subscribers

• Instant launch of service
• 24/365 line assurance
• Quick recovery from failure

How the system works

• Apply the WDM modules, OTDR, and the optical REFLECTORs onto the PON system.
• The OTDR scans the distribution lines to detect reflection at the reflectors with no interference to the service.

•  When the line breaks the reflection at the ONU can not reach to the OTDR.
• The system operator can identify from the remote office whether the cause of the failure is a line breakage or a device failure.
