Accelerate Troubleshooting & Repair Of Fiber Faults With Ciena’s PinPoint Portal
Description
Ciena's Helen Xenos demonstrates how Ciena's PinPoint Portal software application helps network operations personnel increase their productivity by quickly identifying and troubleshooting fiber faults in the network, significantly accelerating fiber repair times. With PinPoint Portal, operators now have consolidated network topology and intuitive visualization of all the network elements and fiber routing information on a real world map that is easily accessible through any web browser from any computing device such as a tablet. Proactive system monitoring and optimization are also available with PinPoint Portal through features like integrated in-service OTDR that can be triggered remotely via a simple click by the user without impacting any traffic on the span. In the event of a fiber fault, in only a few minutes at most, operators will know the precise GPS coordinates and location of the problem that needs to be repaired.
