System features

• A more cost-effective monitoring option

1). Plug and play, no deployment required

Unlike the cumbersome deployment process of traditional systems, it only requires a single network cable connected to a computer to start the monitoring task.

2). Standalone, no computer needed

After monitoring begins, the status of the monitoring lines and devices can be viewed on the small screen without a computer.

3). Flexible setup, easy to use

IU height for 19-inch racks or desktop placement. Can be deployed in server rooms or at user sites for monitoring.

• A simpler and more user-friendly monitoring system

Pain points for maintenance personnel in traditional monitoring system

1)Complex system functionality

2). High knowledge barrier.

3). Lack of practical opportunities

The complexity of the traditional

monitoring systems itself makes it difficult for novices to understand the working principle of the entire system and the interaction between various components. They need to master a lot of professional terms and theoretical foundations. It is not possible to become proficient in 1-2 training sessions. A lot of training costs need to be invested, and it is difficult to quickly learn and master through practice. Ultimately, the equipment and system become decorations and can’t play a practical role

LOMS Solution

1) Simple system structure

2). No specialized knowledge required

3). OTDR simulation available

LOMS-1 features a clear single-machine structure, with a simplified interface and operation process that allows beginners to quickly grasp the basics. By learning OTDR operation, users can swiftly engage in tasks and simulate common issues, making it easier to learn problem-solving procedures. This significantly reduces learning costs and maximizes the utility of the equipment and system.

• Faster fiber network repair

Compared to traditional fiber testing that typically uses OTDRs, detection and repair usually occur only after a fault. This results in slow response times and a lack of effective means for rapid communication restoration.

SAT-OMS provides real-time monitoring of fiber optic networks and automatically tests fibers. It quickly and accurately identifies fault points and causes, reducing downtime and helping maintenance personnel address issues efficiently, thereby lowering repair costs.

Comparison of Traditional OTDR Repair Process and SAT-OMS Repair Process.

High durability: Low power consumption with minimal cooling requirements, enabling long-term operation in complex environments without performance degradation or failures, ensuring infrequent maintenance and replacements for stable long-term performance.

Reduce maintenance costs: SAT-OMS accurately locates fiber optic faults, preventing unnecessary repairs and resource waste.

Operators can use manpower and resources more effectively, lowering costs and improving efficiency.

Occasional attenuation events: may occur in a fiber optic cable in a community. When maintenance personnel arrive, the issue often resolves itself, necessitating 24-hour monitoring to address such faults, which incurs high labor costs. In this case, the SAT-OMS can be temporarily moved to the security room, connected to the fiber interface, and quickly configured for 24-hour monitoring.

System expansion

Supports integration with various systems, such as the Cable-Map fiber monitoring resource management system. It utilizes GIS maps for resource management, significantly reducing fault location time in complex environments and during nighttime incidents. For large-core or backbone fiber faults, it allows for precise and quick dispatch of fault locations and information to maintenance personnel, enhancing communication efficiency. Maintenance staff can also directly use their phones to locate faults.

Monitoring Solutions

Single spare fiber patrol monitoring

Occupy a spare fiber core in the user's optical cable, LOMS-1 uses 1550nm wavelength, switch different lines through the optical switch, and performs a patrol test on all monitored optical cables.

Online Fiber Single-Core Wheel Patrol Monitoring

To avoid communication wavelengths (typically 1550 nm or 1310 nm), the SAT-OMS uses 1625nm as the monitoring wavelength for patrol monitoring. At the same time, in order not to affect the normal operation of the communication fiber core, WDM and FILTER are added at both ends of the communication optical cable for wave combining and filtering

Application scenarios

• FTTx network applications

FTTx is a fiber-to-the-x (user, home, enterprise, etc.) network architecture developed to address issues such as insufficient bandwidth and slow transmission rates in traditional copper cable networks. In an FTTx network, fiber optic cables serve as the primary transmission medium, enabling higher bandwidth, faster transmission rates, and more stable connections, thereby meeting users' demands for high-speed broadband and high-quality communication services.

Home broadband line fault detection: The optical cable monitoring system tracks the status of broadband lines in real time, detecting issues like breaks or damage. When a fault occurs, it alerts operators and quickly locates the problem, helping to reduce repair time and enhance service levels.

Optical cable security monitoring in complex environments: In challenging settings like subway tunnels and industrial parks, optical cables are vulnerable to damage or theft. The monitoring system tracks the cables' security status in real time, issuing alerts for any anomalies and quickly locating issues, enabling operators to take prompt action to ensure network safety and stability.
