Our Optical Network Monitoring Technology vs Traditional Approaches
C-OTDR / FiSEC Monitor
- Uses low energy communication laser (multiple pulse arrays)
- Greatly reduced light intensity means allows use on the same fiber, parallel to the transmission/application
- Will monitor line(s) 365/24/7 without interruption to running processes – will detect issues even when
processes are not running at all
- Sends digital bit patterns with automatic analysis of the read patterns using a correlation algorithm
- Far less costly due to use of standard components
OTDR / Existing Technology
- Uses single pulse, high energy laser
- Displays reflected light as graphics, with manual analysis by trained professional
- Real-time operations only possible with larger commitments, on separate fiber
- More costly
