EXFO test module integrates iOLM technology

4 April 2012 Test & Measurement

EXFO announced the integration of its proprietary iOLM technology to the FTB-720 LAN/WAN Access test module. Thanks to the added features, the new FTB-720 iOLM speeds up and simplifies optical fibre assessment within access and LAN/WAN networks, as well as data centres.

Having gained worldwide recognition in FTTH deployments, the iOLM application has now been optimised to meet short-span point-to-point testing needs during construction and troubleshooting of access and LAN/WAN networks. Powered by Link-Aware technology, the iOLM helps service providers build error-free networks using a multipulse approach to fully characterise events on the entire link – from the front end to the far end – through a single-button operation.

Thanks to its self-setting parameters and intuitive interpretation of graphical results, the iOLM eliminates tedious instrument training and repeated truck rolls; it also reduces the level 2 support required from expert technicians, who can dedicate this precious time to more added-value tasks.

With its visual representation using icons for each link event and clear pass/fail verdicts, the iOLM enables any technician to easily perform tests that are accurate the first time.

Consistent with its focus on providing network operators with enhanced, OPEX-reducing test routines, EXFO is also releasing a new version of its data post-processing software. FastReporter 2 offers a more powerful, all-integrated package of advanced features to edit, analyse and document test results performed on entire networks. This enhanced version reduces manipulations, simplifies the user’s experience and boosts post-processing efficiency.
