OPEX Reduction and Happy Customers: Save time, money and troubles in your fiber optic networks

Optical testing and monitoring
  • May 1, 2014

Gwenn Amice

Subject Matter Expert

Gwenn Amice served in the French Navy before joining the Opto-electronic R&D telecom industry in 1995 aboard a startup that became the CISCO DWDM transport platform pillar.

As the development of new high-speed technologies evolved, he introduced new DWDM transport platforms in industrialization, production, customer demonstration and field deployment in Europe, Asia and Americas until he moved to Canada in 2000.

After a one-year experience as outside plant Engineer for Vidéotron in Montréal, he joined EXFO in 2001 as Subject Matter Expert, focusing on next generation optical networks and acting as a technical advisor to EXFO’s customers.

Since 2019 Gwenn Amice has been appointed Senior member of technical staff representing EXFO at industry standard events and interfacing with EXFO product development groups.

Mr. Amice holds a university degree in electrical engineering and industrial computing, and he is a member of the Broadband Forum Americas Technology Committee

In today’s competitive marketplace, where customer loyalty and retention is at risk, service providers need to maintain a high level of service and network reliability on a tighter budget.

In addition to negotiating the best prices on fiber/cable, infrastructure, transmission and test equipment on a day-to-day basis, solving network weaknesses is yet another way to reduce operation costs.

This 40-minute webinar explores the differences between a poor-quality network as compared to a solid and efficient network―and most importantly, how to optimize your own network efficiency. Topics discussed inthis webinar:

  • Fiber-optic Achilles’ heel: poor connections
  • A stressed network is not a good network: learn how to detect macrobends before they kill services
  • No plug and pray: qualify your fiber for high-speed upgradability
  • Fiber break—it happens, but how quickly can you react?
  • The quest for margin: optimize your OSNR for a few extra dBs that will make a difference
