VIAVI’s ONMSi Build Software paired with the Lit-Fiber Ready FTH-5000 (Fiber Test Head) 48-port rack-mounted 1RU shelf is designed to offer rapid, easy installation of remote test capability in the smallest footprint and power consumption package on the market. Customers are using the combination to test PON/FTTH networks with hundreds of PON exchange locations.
