OCN-MS continuously carries out accurate OTDR, Fiber Attenuation and Optical Power measurements of the fiber network and compares the results with a stored reference data, providing information about the current network status and performances.
OCN-MS detects faults and breaks as they occur and sends a real-time alert message to the surveillance and maintenance team, providing them details about the fault cause and the exact fault location.
This allows operators to minimize network downtime, keeping low costs for network maintenance and increasing quality of offered services.
OCN-MS continuous monitoring has another important goal: the accurate reports on the status of the fiber optic network enable the operators to evaluate present and future performances, starting proactive actions to minimize or even prevent network failures.
OCN-MS is a cost-effective and reliable system:
- turns the GIS investment into profitable asset,
- reduces optical network maintenance costs,
- improves quality of offered services and increases revenues,
- improves network control and reduces the cost of insurance premium.
