ZTE Fiber Fingerprint Solution helps operators avoid wasting resources and improve operations and maintenance efficiency. The solution allocates unique "fiber fingerprints" – QR codes and barcodes – to the devices and cables at the fiber link node. It leverages intelligent image recognition technology to enable the “fiber fingerprint” of the fiber link node to be scanned using a mobile phone app to identify and obtain the connection relationship of fiber links, automatically synchronize fiber resource information, and digitalize the topology of the entire network fiber link on the platform side. The approach “visualizes” dark fiber resources, guarantees resource accuracy, avoids waste of fiber resources, and reduces network O&M costs, says the company.
Judge’s Comment: “This product definitely addresses a need in the market. It seems to be the only solution for this problem at this time.”
