While network-centric turn-up testing verifies the L2/L3 components of the carrier SLA, it does not guarantee customer satisfaction. To further ensure that the customer applications perform satisfactorily, service providers must also conduct application-centric turn-up testing to qualify their networks.... Learn more

With the advanced development of field installation solutions, field termination of optical fiber has gained momentum in the last decade. The field installable solution started with a field polished connector and then evolved into a pre-polished mechanical connector, evolving further into pre-polished fusion splice on connector termination. The initial application for the FuseConnect fusion... Learn more

Testing the fiber physical characteristics is necessary to determine the magnitude of loss in the water peak area, which is the most significantly changing parameter. Several methods or test solutions can perform this measurement in the field, even after the fiber plant has been installed. Learn more

Installing and upgrading CWDM equipments in the field requires several steps to guarantee that systems are set up correctly and are working error free when brought into service. Field testing serves as an important component in the turn-up and upgrade process and must be conducted at several stages during the process. Learn more

EPON and GPON are the bestknown and most widely deployed technologies for fiber to the home (FTTH). But they’re not the only ways to build optical access networks, as telecom carriers, cable MSOs, and municipalities worldwide have demonstrated. Whether your application requires something beyond what the original PON standards specified or you’re looking to ensure the maximum amount of bandwidth... Learn more

Video service quality of experience (QoE) is a perceptual environment whose components are difficult, or near impossible, to directly measure in a practical operational manner. Yet, service providers can make objective measurements of a set of parameters, or quality of service (QoS) metrics, which can be used to evaluate the performance of the network and its delivery of an acceptable QoE. A... Learn more
