Nova Fiber provides end-to-end link testing, diagnostic and proactive monitoring for any type of fiber network, including passive optical networks (PON) in the FTTP context. This OTDR-based technology, characterized by EXFO's built-in intelligence and automation, delivers greater efficiency and ease of use, without cutting back on performance and flexibility. Nova Fiber mobile application empowers FTTP field technicians to remotely trigger OTDR tests. This is orchestrated via a cloud-native application server. From end-to-end link loss measurements, to link continuity, OTDR link quality check is done at the touch of a button with contextual guidance such as expected loss budget available for users on the spot. The solution's cloud-native management software is referenced as FMS (Fiber Management System). It is an innovative platform to control the remote test units, namely RTU-2 (for P2P and PON) and FG-750 (for P2P) based on containers and microservices technology.
Scale and accelerate fiber testing
Large workforce training for complex OTDR testing
Errors associated with end-to-end link testing in the field
Test and reporting time to consolidate tests and close jobs
Scale and accelerate with quality fiber links
Visibility over quality of work from contractors
Nova Fiber transforms traditional fiber deployment and how active monitoring of the fiber infrastructure is carried out. Testing capabilities are built into EXFO’s OTDR, the most trusted one in the industry. This solution thus leverages 35 years of leadership and expertise in fiber optic testing to automate and simplify active monitoring for all.
Designed for microservices, allowing your SI partners or in-house teams to build fully integrated workflows. Based on Docker and microservices, which de facto entails that all 'services' are coming with APIs (e.g., create a logical link, attach to a port, run a test, capture result and seek for meta-data).
Nova Fiber helps operators deploy, audit, activate and troubleshoot fiber optic links remotely across the network lifecycle.
It improves speed and visibility for field testing, but also reduces mean-time-to-repair (MTTR) and trucks rolls during troubleshooting. End-to-end testing avoids costly repeat jobs.
Applications :
Nova Fiber mobile application empowers field technicians to remotely trigger OTDR testing.
From end-to-end link loss measurements to link continuity, OTDR link characterization is accessible to any technician at the touch of a button, including contextual diagnostics available on the spot.
What does this entail? Technicians can focus on the results rather than OTDR trace interpretation.
Build on an open architecture, Nova Fiber enables integrated workflows with microservices.
The services are deployed as Docker containers and orchestrated using Docker Swarm, which allows horizontal scaling of services by design.
Its cloud-native platform delivers enterprise-class components and technologies to ensure the highest IT security standards.
