Last-Mile PON Monitoring. See What Others Miss.

Detect partial failures, fiber degradation, and signal issues before customers call.

NetSense PON Monitoring gives ISPs deep visibility into the passive optical network. Track every ONU, every PON port, monitor signal levels, and identify fiber issues across your entire last-mile infrastructure.

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.

PON Monitoring Features

Partial Failure Detection

+
Automatically detect when only some ONUs on a PON port go offline, indicating splitter or fiber issues.

Signal Level Dashboard

+
Visual overview of Rx power levels across all ONUs with color-coded health indicators.

Fiber Degradation Alerts

+
Get notified when signal trends indicate fiber aging or damage before service impact.

ONU Discovery

+
Automatic detection and inventory of all ONUs connected to your PON infrastructure.

PON Port Utilization

+
Monitor bandwidth usage per PON port to identify congestion and plan upgrades.

Splitter Visibility

+
Understand your PON topology including splitter levels and ONU distribution.

Real-Time Status

+
Live view of ONU online/offline status with instant change detection.

Fast Issue Resolution

+
Pinpoint fiber issues to specific segments, reducing truck rolls and MTTR.

PON Diagnostic Tools

Troubleshoot last-mile issues quickly with built-in PON diagnostic tools. From signal analysis to topology visualization, get the data you need to resolve fiber issues fast.

  • Signal Analysis

    Analyze Rx/Tx power levels to identify weak signals and fiber issues

  • ONU Locator

    Find specific ONUs by serial number, MAC address, or customer ID

  • Topology View

    Visualize PON tree structure from OLT port through splitters to ONUs

  • Fiber Health Check

    Compare current signal levels against baseline to detect degradation

  • Traffic Analysis

    View bandwidth usage patterns per ONU to identify heavy users
