High-bandwidth fiber services are always at risk of disruption. From breaks and bends to water damage to deliberate tampering, any number of things can go wrong with fiber plant. Monitoring technology enables network operators to identify fiber faults. But until recently, the only affordable technology available on the mass market was designed for reactive measurements.

In this session, Tom Coburn will show how Adtran’s ALM platform enables cost-effective real-time proactive monitoring of fiber plants so that operators can be immediately notified of fiber issues. He will also discuss how ALM significantly shortens repair cycles, improves network performance and empowers operators to reduce capex and opex costs.
