Evolution of Fiber Optics Enables Expanded Network Connections
Fiber optic projects are growing more and more and Lightera has developed multi-fiber network solutions to ensure innovative and efficient connectivity for any infrastructure.
How have infrastructure networks evolved? It is clear that today optical fiber has a strong presence in the world of telecommunications, providing greater connectivity, performance and scalability.
During 2022, many Latin American countries began developing their fiber optic expansion plans that will continue, and some will end, to be executed in the coming years. What is presented is a major investment trend in the expansion of fiber optic networks, seeking to offer multiservices to improve connectivity in productive and densely populated areas, in addition to preparing and accelerating the deployment of new technologies such as 5G networks.
That’s why Lightera comments on how multi-fiber pre-connected networks, the topology that allows a large number of connections, become a fundamental and innovative solution for fiber optic projects.
When tackling a project that requires an engineering planning process, network installation, and later monitoring and maintenance, multiple factors must be taken into consideration that can condition the development of the plan. These points to keep in mind are:
How is the project set up?
This point refers to parts that allow a certain amount of connections between each other.
The use of multi-fiber networks makes it possible to work with 5G, providing greater innovation and in terms of network expansion it is very advantageous.
How will the installation be?
The implementation team may not have a thorough understanding of multi-fiber networks. This is where the manufacturer, Lightera, accompanies the implementer to approve the product, validate the installation and view the technical specifications together.
How will the monitoring be carried out?
It is important to have performance measurement tools and platforms to monitor inventory and operation.In this way, possible interruptions and/or failures can be foreseen. Monitoring can be done through Lightera’ IoT platform.
Is the project feasible?
Feasibility in economic and implementation terms is fundamental to decide whether or not to advance in the development of a project. It is important to understand that pre-connectorized networks are easy to implement, are faster and are on-demand, causing installation and maintenance costs to be reduced, since there can be a gradual growth and a demand for the network without there being an initial construction that requires an investment.
The incorporation of this type of topologies in the infrastructures will bring multiple benefits to those involved in the project. CAPEX and OPEX are optimized, in addition to reducing ROI time, and can enjoy results in the short and medium term. Lightera argues that pre-connectorized solutions are key to keeping up with market and communications technology developments.
