Deploying Fiber Monitoring Solution For a Leading Telecom Operator, Egypt

Challenge: 

The ever-increasing volume of Fiber network deployments causes many maintenance difficulties for the fiber network services providers. It requires high levels of expertise and is often economically burdensome. Both internal and external clients expected high levels of service and availability. External clients leasing the fiber network request a strict service level agreement (SLA) that includes a guaranteed time to repair. If the network is unavailable for a longer period than the SLA specifies, the Fiber network service provider  may have to pay significant penalties, One of the leading telecom operators in Egypt requested a solution that remotely 24/7 Monitors  the fiber Network Looking for any fiber degradation and  automatically detects and locate any faults

Solution:

Alkan has successfully deployed an integrated remote Fiber Monitoring solution that scans the fiber network 24/7 and automatically detects and locates faults without having to dispatch technicians in the field; the system alerts operators and managers with the faults’ details including locations. Measurement schedules allow network operators to assess long-term fiber performance to form the basis of efficient asset management. 

Key Benefits: 

•    facilitates the management of fiber optic networks with fewer technicians through fiber remote testing and accurate fiber plant documentation
•    Minimize MTTR (mean time to repair) with automatic detection, location and demarcation.
•    Enhance the SLA to meet customer service quality
•    Cost efficiency, manageability, and flexibility
