  • Author: JAMES CRAWSHAW
This paper examines the problems that arise from poor test management and how these can be addressed through automation of the test data collection and analytics. The proverbial "insatiable demand for bandwidth" is driving service providers worldwide to extend the coverage of their optical networks (FTTx, FTTA, FTTP, Remote PHY, etc.), increasing the speed of their access networks and mobile backhaul. To make sure these new network buildouts go smoothly, operators create highly detailed methods and procedures (M&P) documents that specify how to test their fiber assets. Fiber optic cable performance depends on component quality, the length of the fiber, number of connections and splices, and the quality of the installation process itself.
