FiberSpotter

A carrier-grade troubleshooting system for Passive Optical Networks, combined with active and passive inventory – all in a single affordable package

Constant need for fiber cut localization becomes one of the biggest issues that affects cost of ownership of a large passive optical network. If Optical Time Domain Reflectometers are used for locating fiber cuts, both OPEX and CAPEX can increase substantially, as well as time needed for disaster recovery.

FiberSpotter solution from mobileAPI offers an affordable alternative with the use of a passive monitoring approach that relies upon specialized software to collect and analyze the alarms from OLTs, correlating that data with inventory topology data.
