iOTDR Cards: Micro and Nano
Gain the Advantage of Integrated iOTDR Visibility from the VIAVI ONMSi RFTS Team
Gain a competitive advantage with the compact, easy to integrate VIAVI iOTDR™ cards and software. VIAVI iOTDR cards provide NEMS with the capability to help customers accurately locate fiber faults that degrade network traffic. Ensure high availability network services by identifying physical faults causing latency, jitter service quality issues and network outages. Protect data by detecting fiber security intrusion attacks. For use in xWDM, FTTX, PON, 4G/5G Fiber networks.
Accelerate your iOTDR integration design process by leveraging VIAVI professional services expertise to assist while you integrate and test the Nano or Micro iOTDR cards within a larger system.
