In FTTH or mobile backhaul environments where you need to diagnose link problems or establish pass/fail status for connectors, you can combine solutions like the iOLM and ConnectorMax applications.

Innovation is front and center at EXFO, and the iOLM is a prime example of a game-changing solution. The iOLM lets you take advantage of the full power of your OTDR, bringing automation to a new level—and enabling even the untrained technician to become a test expert in no time. This video demontrates how easy and efficient it is to characterize an entire FTTH PON network using iOLM.

Using an automated multipulse acquisition approach and advanced algorithms, the iOLM is an OTDR-based application that delivers detailed information on every element on the link, in a single button operation—providing maximum intelligence and simplicity for expert-level link characterization.

This webinar provides an overview of the applications offered with the FTB-1 Platform and FTB-730-iOLM module.

Network operators are using, more than ever before, technicians with a copper background to characterize their fiber-optic networks. Discover how EXFO's iOLM solution, with its patent-pending Link-Aware Technology, makes an OTDR expert out of any technician, right from the start. A must for FTTX and MDU network operators.

With a global market share of more than 50%, EXFO has been a proven OTDR expert for over 25 years. With models optimized for all types of optical networks—FTTH, access, metro, long-haul, ultra-long-haul—you will find in this brochure the right OTDR solution for your requirements.

By the end of 2015, global mobile traffic will have increased by a factor of 26. However, this booming expansion poses numerous challenges. EXFO's field-optimized testing solution, the Backhaul Tri-Pak enables you to characterize, validate and turn up Ethernet backhaul links in 15 minutes. Discover how EXFO's ConnectorMax Analysis Software, iOLM Intelligent Optical Link Mapper and EtherSAM service validation methodology take the guesswork out of Ethernet testing.

This article presents the intelligent Optical Link Mapper (iOLM), an automated technology that uses advanced algorithms ensuring that all elements of a link are fully and accurately characterized.

This article explains how an OTDR with an APC connector will require less frequent repairs (connector change) to deliver constant measurements and reliable testing.

Leading the OTDR market with a 48% market share and the broadest OTDR portfolio, EXFO offers an OTDR built smart for any type of network. Based on true understanding of the field reality and 20 years of OTDR expertise, EXFO’s OTDRs are designed to meet network operators’ latest requirements. Learn how our OTDRs can provide you with measurements you can trust, while minimizing truck rolls and accelerating workflow in the field.

This course covers advanced OTDR analysis functions and the post-processing tools related to OTDR testing. Attendees will learn how to use the time-saving features of EXFO’s OTDRs; namely, ToolBox, iOLM features and FastReporter software.

This course provides a complete training of FTTH PON and how to test a network at every steps of its architecture. Using the complete FTTH testing products, all test phases will be covered: construction, activation and troubleshooting.
