Last-Mile PON Monitoring. See What Others Miss.
PON Monitoring Capabilities
NetSense provides comprehensive monitoring for your passive optical network. From signal quality to ONU health, get the visibility you need to maintain a reliable last-mile infrastructure.
Signal Monitoring
- Rx/Tx Power Monitoring
Track optical signal levels for every ONU to detect fiber degradation early.
- Signal Trending
Historical signal data helps identify gradual degradation before service impact.
- Threshold Alerts
Get notified when signal levels fall outside acceptable ranges.
- FEC Error Tracking
Monitor forward error correction rates to catch fiber issues early.
- Distance Calculation
Estimate fiber distance to each ONU based on optical readings.
ONU Management
- ONU Status Tracking
Real-time visibility into which ONUs are online, offline, or in error state.
- ONU Quality of Experience (QoE)
Compound index showing subscriber service quality based on ONU, PON port, and OLT uptime, performance, and optical params.
- ONU Availability
Track uptime and downtime for each ONU with detailed historical availability metrics.
- Registration Monitoring
Track ONU registrations and deregistrations across all PON ports.
- Partial Failure Detection
Identify when some ONUs on a PON port fail while others stay connected.
- ONU Inventory
Automatic discovery and inventory of all ONUs with serial numbers and models.
