The COFITEL Group announces the availability of the book “Addressing Network Test Challenges - Facing the challenges of network testing” which, published by BTR and sponsored by VIAVI Solutions, includes articles written by experts in certification tasks with broadband equipment. As networks become more complex than ever, the challenges facing professionals are greater. The articles in this text address network testing and management from multiple perspectives, with a particular focus on next-generation PON testing.
The book also dedicates a section to showing the benefits of using VIAVI's SmartPocketV2 OLP-39 True PON testers, available in the COFITEL Group catalog.
Chapter 1: The Dangers of Using a Broadband Power Meter in a Multi-Service PON World.
Scott Pettygrove and Niki Kirschenmann, professionals at VIAVI, highlight that implementing power meters and selective PON meters ensures improved efficiency for service activation and repair teams and reduces costs (by minimizing the number of visits and actions) in multi-service networks.
They address two use cases: in coexisting PON service structures, where two PON services are simultaneously carried over the same fiber but at different wavelengths; and in parallel PON service structures, where two services coexist at different wavelengths on the same trace.
Chapter 2: How cable operators keep up with “explosive” demand
Jim Walsh, Solutions Marketing Manager at VIAVI Solutions, discusses the various procedures followed by cable operators to meet the demand for service capacity, such as increasing nodes (more splitters), frequencies (more Hz), and modulation (more bits/Hz).
Chapter 3: Using Predictive Analytics to Monitor Network Performance
Tom Ayling, CEO of Gisual, discusses the importance of predictive network analytics, with the intention of avoiding incidents or performance drops that could affect its performance and, again, minimizing technician travel.
Chapter 4: SmartPocket V2 OLP-39 True PON Testers for G-PON, XGS-PON, and Hybrid Systems.
The VIAVI OLP-39 variants offer the first wavelength-selectable power meter for passive optical networks (PONs). They also feature TruePON data analysis capabilities for quickly and simultaneously measuring downlink power levels in G-PON and XGS-PON networks, as well as PON loss.
The user-friendly SmartPocket V2 TruePON testers provide targeted and cost-effective solutions for testing, installing, and troubleshooting PON services in the field. Furthermore, as the smallest models in their class, they are pocket-sized.
Models available from the distributor:
The OLP-39G and OLP-39X systems feature an SC adapter that enables simultaneous selective power measurements and TruePON PON-ID data analysis. The OLP-39 is ideal for G-PON (1490 nm) networks, while the OLP-39X is also suitable for XGS-PON (1577 nm) networks.
The COFITEL Group, as an expert in fiber optics and related technology, offers a complete range of products from VIAVI Solutions and other manufacturers that allow for the most accurate, reliable, and cost-effective analysis (testing and certification) of fiber optic cables and the inspection and cleaning of connectors.
