This helps reduce operating costs and improve the reliability of FTTH, allowing operators to detect outages earlier and resolve incidents more quickly on the first attempt.
Operators deploying FTTH networks face limited visibility into passive outside plant, leading to inventory errors, costly relocations, additional costs, and service delays. With improved outside plant visibility, operators can troubleshoot issues faster, expand networks efficiently, and deliver more reliable broadband to their communities.
Nokia Altiplano provides operators with a unified, real-time view of their FTTH networks, using automation tools to streamline processes and continuously validate inventory, topology, and resource data. Operators can also access Nokia’s new Fiber Health Analyzer and Subscriber Line Identifier applications from its expanding Altiplano Marketplace. The new AI-powered Fiber Health Analyzer application enables operators to monitor the health of fiber links, audit imported topology, isolate fiber faults, proactively detect problems, perform root cause analysis, and improve quality of service. With the new Subscriber Line Identify application, operators can verify splitter connectivity with minimal disruption or update inventory in real time to accurately reflect network reality.
Altiplano's digital twin capabilities are compatible with various inventory and geospatial software solutions, work effectively in new or existing deployments, and come pre-integrated with the Nokia Broadband Easy digital platform for automated fiber deployment and operations.
“We can help operators eliminate the blind spots associated with FTTH deployments by removing the need to examine the active and passive network separately. Our software tools and digital platforms provide a unified view of the network, enabling operators to detect problems faster and resolve them before they escalate. This translates into significant operational benefits, cost reductions, and improved reliability and accuracy of network builds,” says Geert Heyninck, General Manager of Broadband Networks at Nokia.
“Nokia’s automation and AI-powered tools not only help us improve operational efficiency but also increase the reliability of our FTTH network. We can now detect outages earlier and resolve incidents more quickly, ultimately improving the subscriber experience,” says Danvig De Bruyn, CEO of fibertime.
“Digital twins and artificial intelligence tools will play a significant role in autonomous networks. By unifying active and passive components into a single view, operators can minimize disruptions, resolve issues quickly, and deliver reliable and cost-effective broadband that sets a new standard for connectivity,” says Jaimie Lenderman, principal analyst at Omdia.
