“The moment we plugged ALM into our infrastructure, it notified us of an issue affecting one of our protected routes. We’d been told to expect a quick return on our investment, but to get an immediate demonstration of what it could do for us was a surprise,” said
SCRTC is using the 16-port variant of Adtran’s ALM to continuously monitor its core fiber network and high-traffic routes alongside the 96-port extender at three hub sites. A key component of SCRTC’s network management system is Adtran’s GIS-based tracking solution, Ensemble Fiber Director. This works with ALM to precisely track the location of issues and ensure optimized oversight of SCRTC’s full optical infrastructure. The system acts like a radar that continuously scans fiber optic cables to pinpoint the location of issues such as attenuation, water damage and breaks. By identifying problems early and enabling maintenance teams to immediately track them down, ALM also helps reduce SCRTC’s operational and capital expenditures. What’s more, its fanless operation and low power consumption further contribute to network efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
“When a service outage occurs, subscribers expect rapid resolution. That’s because broadband has become such an essential utility. Businesses, people working from home and families who regularly access entertainment streaming demand consistent, always-on connectivity. That’s why service providers like SCRTC are seeking solutions that take network resiliency to the next level,” commented
