Making your FTTH ready for a CORD architecture

FTTH Network ready for CORD architecture

Central Office Re-architected as a Data center (CORD) is the response from Telecom Operators to benefit from economies of scale (infrastructure constructed from a few commodity building blocks) and agility (the ability to rapidly deploy and elastically scale services) that commodity cloud providers enjoy.

GPONDoctor Whitepaper “Making your FTTH ready for a CORD architecture” explains the methodology to acquire full knowledge of the strengths and weakness of your R-CORD network devices.  GPON Analyzers will help to get R-CORD implementations faster and more Resilience while ensuring that customer will always get the best User Experience.

Another GPON channel goes down and you ‘do not know why’?, Is your OLTs’ rogue ONT detection and isolation algorithm trustworthy?

Suddenly, a network operation engineer faces again the unexpected but common situation where another PON channel goes down after a long operational state. At the same time, customers that belong to same PON, call the Customer support office to complain about the poor quality of experience and service degradation they are now experiencing. The situation is getting worse, now it’s not only service degradation, there are also some connectivity failures. Wow, does this sound familiar?

GPONDoctor Whitepaper “How to efficiently detect and isolate Rogue ONTs” explains the methodology to easily identify Rogue ONTs and isolate it from your FTTH network. It is now possible to minimize the impact on your entire network performance, and vastly reducing your OPEX.

Is your FTTH GPON Network Resilience?

Resilience is the ability to provide and maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of faults and challenges to normal operation. In order to increase the resilience of a given communication network, the probable challenges and risks have to be identified and appropriate resilience metrics have to be defined for the service to be protected.

Most of the times, the GPON networks are only tested under “normal operation”, so once deployed, there are many events that cannot be identified as they have never seen before. Testing the behavior of the network under error conditions will tremendously benefit the operator to be prepared when these situations happen in real life.

GPONDoctor Whitepaper “The Road to the Deep Understanding of your FTTH Network-Proactive versus Reactive Network Management” explains the benefit to use an Error injection test gear to improve the resiliency of your FTTH GPON network.
