ALM Series

Fiber assurance solution for lean operations


Fiber is a high-value asset. It transports huge amounts of data, generating significant revenue. Fiber
failure demands immediate action but a lack of information about the nature of a problem often makes
this impossible. In-service fiber monitoring solves this issue and our unique ALM does it with unrivalled
efficiency.
Operations teams have one key objective: run a complex communication infrastructure as efficiently as possible. In the event
of network failure, a root cause analysis should not require on-site field forces with expensive measurement equipment.
Giving customers higher bandwidth services should be possible without changing demarcation device. Gathering real-time
information about the integrity of the fiber network should not require costly new kit. Proactive fiber link monitoring solves
those challenges. Our ALM is an in-service advanced link monitoring solution for highly precise, real-time monitoring of fiber
links. It streamlines operational processes, shortens repair cycles and enables service-agnostic network demarcation.

Your benefits
oo Improved service quality oo Higher availability
Real-time information on fiber integrity for fast Detecting degradations and initiating counter-
failure detection and short repair cycles measures before services are affected and SLAs are
violated

oo Non-intrusive monitoring oo Simplified demarcation


Inherent compatibility of demarcation reflectors Passive demarcation reflectors for operation
with any user data protocol as well as multi- without power supply even under harsh
wavelength transmission systems environmental conditions

oo Streamlined operations oo Intuitive management interface


In-service fiber monitoring for immediate Integrated with market-leading geographic
separation between failures of active devices and information systems (GIS) to quickly and easily
problems with the fiber plant localize fiber issues
