JDSU recently introduced a centralised remote passive optical network (PON) test system, a unique solution that tests point-to-multipoint networks from the central office using a web browser. This application is a complementary application to the JDSU optical network management system (ONMS) that includes point-to-point fibre monitoring and GIS-based outside plant documentation. The PON test system supports service providers migrating to PON by delivering a fast and cost-effective method of turning up and restoring IPTV and other broadband services to meet users’ quality of experience expectations.
Traditional troubleshooting methods for services like IPTV require time-consuming coordination between the central office (CO) and field personnel using portable devices to conduct tests. JDSU’s new system enables a technician in the field to troubleshoot any leg of the PON by accessing an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) in the CO through a mobile phone or web browser. The solution also enables network operations centre (NOC) personnel to check the current status of a fibre in seconds without having to be trained in the use of an OTDR.
