EXFO announced the launch of the intelligent Optical Link Mapper (iOLM), an innovative test solution that enables fast FTTx network characterisation, claiming an 85% time gain over the currently used OTDR test method.
At the core of this innovation, the module fully automates the setting of complex OTDR acquisition parameters and presents an easy-to-understand pass/fail status of the FTTH network, helping service providers to deploy PON links in a much easier way. The simplicity of this solution allows installation teams to be operational with minimal training, making it a well suited tool for tier 1 technicians.
With network operators going more and more to full-scale FTTH deployments, installation team operators must hire numerous additional technicians and train them as fast as possible to meet the demand. To assist them in that regard, EXFO has developed the iOLM application, which dynamically chooses the optimal testing parameters and returns a clear link view, using icons and diagnoses to pinpoint elements that failed the test.
Powered by patent-pending Link-Aware technology, the iOLM can launch and analyse multiple acquisitions, and then compile and interpret the results – all within seconds and via one click. Plus, thanks to the in-line optical power meter feature, the device allows users to connect to the fibre, check power readings, get a link map and find potential faults without disconnecting the fibre.
Housed in the FTB-1 platform and developed based on EXFO’s FTB-730 OTDR hardware, the iOLM leverages advanced algorithms to identify every fault on the network. Additionally, prompt diagnoses on possible faults guide users to rapidly fix the issues, increasing the overall quality of fibre-optic network characterisation.
