A fiber network diagnostic (Fiber Plant Characterization) is a specialized and innovative service created by FiberWork that goes much further than just field measurements. It comprises detailed field data acquisition and their in-depth analysis by expert PhD professionals.

The outcome is a set of recommendations intended towards network design optimization, capex and opex savings, better exploitation of fiber transmission capacities and future-proofing the network.

Such information provide an important support for decision making before network design and upgrade as well as for dark fiber valuation, needed for fiber leasing, swap and other frequent telecom market negotiations. It helps both sides of the table to feel more confident, avoiding misleading and promoting fair negotiations

FiberWork characterizes optical parameters and optical communication impairments such as:

"Such information provide an important support for decision making before network design and upgrade as well as for dark fiber valuation..."

• PMD (Polarization Mode Dispersion) characterization
• Chromatic Dispersion
• Optical attenuation
• ORL (Optical Return Loss)
• Advanced bi-directional OTDR measurements
• Spectral Attenuation
• OSNR (Optical Signal to Noise Ratio)for DWDM design and upgrades
• FWM (four wave mixing / optical non-linearities) evaluation
• Remote Optical Amplifier (ROPA) gain and pump-power characterization
• Raman amplifier gain characterization
• SBS – Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Evaluation

Get an unbiased evaluation of your fiber network. FiberWork is not connected with fiber and cable manufacturers, equipment providers or network installers. This fact brings more confidence to our diagnostics, results and conclusions.
