WISTOM is provided as a rack-mountable cased
unit or as an embedded PCB intended for OEM (original equipment
manufacturing).
WISTOM for the Network Operator:
Optical Layer Monitoring gives the network operator early warning and fault localization capabilities as well as trend analysis tools, thereby reducing OpEx. By correcting faults before they actually occur, network uptime and Quality of Service can be improved significantly. Customers can be provided with QoS metrics and capacity can be monitored without compromising customer integrity.
Furthermore, provisioning and introduction of new services is faster and effortless through real time feedback and remote monitoring.
WISTOM?s highly adaptable software and interfaces integrates easily in any network management system. Communication is done through SNMP or proprietary protocols over TCP/IP and RS-232. The integrated optical switch makes it possible to distribute the monitoring capabilities of one unit to up to 16 fibers.
WISTOM for the Dark Fiber Provider:
The unique measurement capabilities and resolution of WISTOM gives dark fiber providers the opportunity to introduce a differentiated billing model. WISTOM measures key data as number of channels and modulation rate with no opto-electrical conversion, thus giving the fiber provider the means to measure fiber utilization while guaranteeing customer integrity.
Furthermore, WISTOM?s monitoring platform provides a number of additional services such as protection switching, Service Layer Agreement (SLA) supervision and Quality of Service (QoS) metrics.
WISTOM for the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer):
WISTOM as an embedded unit provides OEMs with a high-end Optical Performance Monitor, combined with an extremely fast Optical Channel Monitor. The outstanding speed and accuracy of WISTOM provides means to give fast and accurate feedback to active system components such as amplifiers and switches, as well as gathering statistics and metrics of system performance.
WISTOM comes with Ethernet and RS-232 and is prepared for a number of other interfaces, such as USB, CAN and DPRAM. Highly adaptable software enables fast implementation of new protocols and functions.
The WISTOM technology is a future-proof and highly adaptable platform that can be further developed for any present or future monitoring needs.
