FTTx PON-Optimized OTDRs

Mario Simard

Group Manager - Installation & Maintenance

For over 19 years, Mario Simard has worked in the high-tech industry, namely in optics and telecommunication. With EXFO for over 10 years, he has developed valuable expertise in FTTH testing. His recent areas of concentration revolve specifically around optical time-domain reflectometry and assisting customers in how to test their FTTH networks. This experience has been the basis for Mr. Simard’s latest work on the development of dedicated FTTH testing methods and procedures. Mario holds a university degree in mechanical engineering from Université Laval, in Quebec City.

Mario Simard highlights the FTB-730 OTDR housed in the all-new FTB-1 platform, as well as the PON-optimized AXS-100, at the EXFO Global Sales Conference 2010.
