Opticomm and Opengear maintain fibre access node uptime for Fibre-to the-Premises rollout
/EINPresswire.com/ Opticomm a specialist Australian telecommunications provider that focuses on Fibre-to-the-Premises networks has integrated Opengear's 3G-enabled secure remote management appliances to improve provisioning, operation and maintenance of critical equipment.
The Opticomm solution delivers the following services to residents across an advanced Passive Optical Network (PON) infrastructure:
* High Speed Broadband Internet Access (100Mbps and beyond)
* Free-to-Air and Free-to-Satellite TV
* Subscription TV
* Video-on-demand (VOD)
* Telephone including low cost Voice over IP (VoIP)
* Environmental and utility monitoring
* Security and surveillance applications
Opticomm provides a premium, reliable solution with a service goal of rebuilding a remote site from their Operations centre within minutes of sending out lower cost field service personnel to replace modules, in the event of a catastrophic failure. This solution depends on a robust secure and interoperable in-band and out-of-band remote management platform remotely operated by engineers at the Operations centre for normal remote configuration as well as dealing with small and more severe outages.
Opticomm partnered with Opengear because it provided a range of feature-rich products that allowed them to manage all the critical devices at Fiber Access Nodes (FAN), while also providing distributed monitoring and critical alarms over wired or wireless connections.
According to Phil Smith, General Manage of Opticomm "Opengear has enabled OptiComm to remotely manage it Fibre Access Nodes and points of interconnect across Australia including the network we deployed for the NBN in Tasmania. This is all controlled from our Network Operation Centres in Hobart and Perth".
Opticomm chose Opengear's ACM5000 Advanced Console Manager appliance range to manage all the critical devices at FAN sites. The 3G Cellular-enabled model (ACM5004-G) supports both wired and wireless in-band and out-of band connectivity with serial console, USB and external sensor connectivity. The cellular wireless capability gave Opticomm flexibility in the event of outages where a copper-based out-of-band connection is either not available or very restrictive. The ACM5004-G can be AC mains or DC operated. Critical Opticomm equipment managed at each site includes -
- Brocade Switches and Routers (secure console access and logging)
- Intelligent Power Distribution Units (power cycling of devices)
- GPON Fibre to the premises (FTP) Access Equipment (secure console access and logging)
- Transparent Digital Transmodulator (TDT) for TV/Video services (secure console access and logging)
