II-VI Incorporated Introduces Optical Monitoring System for Optical Transport and Access Networks
June 03 2021 - 3:30PM
II‐VI Incorporated (Nasdaq: IIVI), a market leader in optical
solutions for next-generation optical networks, today announced the
introduction of an optical monitoring system (OMS) for optical
transport and access networks.
The growing trends of equipment disaggregation at the network
core and fiber densification at the network edge are driving the
demand for unified optical monitoring solutions that enable high
quality of service end-to-end. II-VI’s OMS enables service
providers to obtain real-time critical information about the health
or disruption of optical transport and access networks, including
the integrity of fiber cables, the quality of optical connectors,
and the signal strength of optical channels.
“The OMS is a modular, vertically integrated platform that
leverages our industry-leading and field-proven optical monitoring
modules, namely, our optical time-domain reflectometers and optical
channel monitors, and our deep expertise in subsystem development
to achieve a versatile, reliable, and cost-effective network-ready
solution,” said Dr. Richard Smart, Sr. Vice President, ROADM
Business Unit. “The OMS enables telecom, cable, and cloud service
providers to obtain a comprehensive view of their optical networks,
from the core to the edge, optimizing network uptime and providing
differentiated quality of service.”
The OMS can be integrated seamlessly into the network by simply
plugging it into the existing optical test ports, enabling service
providers to overlay a universal network-level monitoring solution
without any service interruption. A single OMS can cycle through up
to 48 monitoring ports, thanks to an embedded optical switch
designed and manufactured for high reliability by II-VI. The OMS
can be connected to cloud-based network management systems through
a Gigabit Ethernet port, enabling service providers to leverage the
power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to maximize
the efficiency of network preventive maintenance and dynamic
reconfiguration.
II-VI will showcase its broad portfolio of optical
communications products virtually at OFC 2021, June 6-11, 2021.
