EXFO announced the addition of its iOLM technology to its FTB series OTDR (optical time domain reflectometer) modules. Originally developed for the challenging FTTH/PON fibre test environment, iOLM technology now extends its realm of fibre/cable testing applications to more common architectures, such as access, point-to-point, FTTA/DAS, metro, CWDM and long-haul networks.
Having iOLM on these OTDRs will enable network operators to eliminate complex OTDR trace interpretation and human errors from their network testing cycles. Using an automated multi-pulse acquisition approach and advanced algorithms, the iOLM is an OTDR-based software application that delivers detailed information on every element on the link, in a single button operation.
Powered by Link-Aware technology, the EXFO proprietary iOLM self-manages the setting of all test parameters, requiring virtually no training for technicians of any skill level. Now available on new FTB-7300 and FTB-7400 OTDRs, the application can be combined with various advanced test functionalities – CD, PMD, WDM-Aware, EtherSAM, SONET/SDH, Ethernet, etc. – inside EXFO’s FTB Ecosystem platforms, including the popular FTB-200 Compact platform.
Since its first release about a year ago, EXFO’s iOLM has been well received by the market, as it is already being used in 60 countries around the world and currently undergoing numerous field trials with major operators. EXFO intends to develop additional targeted features for the iOLM to address the needs of even more customers in multiple applications.
