Montana’s broadband networks cover wide rural territories where a single fiber fault into hours of disruption. Continuous in-service fiber monitoring provides early warning of degradation, faster fault localization and provides a clearer picture of risks across these long, weather-exposed routes. For small teams supporting large footprints, these insights are vital to reducing operational strain and improving uptime.
In this session, Casey Elliott will outline how Adtran’s ALM platform provides round-the-clock clarity on the state of a fiber plant without interrupting live traffic. He’ll show how ALM identifies and localizes faults or suspicious events, integrates with Mosaic Fiber Director for map-based alarms and extends visibility deep into PON environments so that issues at the edge don’t go unnoticed.
