In addition to monitoring live networks, ALM plays a critical role before services go live. Our advanced ALM assurance platform helps certify and validate installations, providing immediate visibility into the condition of fiber links to ensure they are fit for service prior to deployment. By detecting faults, degradation or anomalies early, dark fiber providers and end users can avoid costly downtime, reduce troubleshooting efforts and ensure reliable performance from day one. With ALM, field staff can easily identify common issues, such as microbendings, macrobendings, poor-quality splices or dirty fiber connectors, and take immediate, targeted action. This proactive approach enhances network resilience and supports the delivery of faster and more advanced dark fiber offerings.
ALM enables dark fiber providers to deliver differentiated services by offering real-time fiber health information, including integrity and attenuation data. This simplifies SLA conformance tracking and supports enhanced SLA offerings, creating new revenue opportunities while reducing service activation and customer churn. ALM works seamlessly across all network technologies and vendor equipment, ensuring consistent monitoring regardless of infrastructure. Its ability to accurately identify the type and location of faults in real time helps avoid unnecessary truck rolls and accelerates repair times. Furthermore, ALM enhances data security by detecting fiber tapping attempts through changes in attenuation, helping safeguard against malicious attacks. Together, these capabilities position ALM as a powerful tool for improving service quality, reducing costs, and driving customer trust.
