Abstract

The FTTH business needs new network maintenance technologies that can, economically and effectively, cope with the massive FTTH fiber plants that are yet to come. Based on the Teager Energy Operator (TEO), we have developed a method for testing and evaluating FTTH networks from the Central Office, which allows the identification of event failures in the optical branches after the PON splitter.
