This document discusses FiberHome's Smart ODN solution for optical distribution networks. It begins with an overview of the history and challenges of copper and optical cabling systems. It then describes FiberHome's Smart ODN solution, which uses electronic identification and radio frequency identification technologies to automatically collect device and port information. This allows for unified resource management, optimized service provisioning, and improved network operations and maintenance. The document provides examples of Smart ODN hardware and functions. It concludes with a case study showing the benefits realized by China Mobile in implementing FiberHome's Smart ODN solution, such as increased fiber resource utilization, faster service provisioning speeds, and reduced maintenance periods.

History of Copper Cabling System
1995, first generation intelligent cabling
system appeared, adopt electronic cabling
box with software control, no physical
patching
2000, second generation intelligent cabling
system appeared, adopt intelligent
distribution frame and patch cord,
information can be collected automatically,
but it is an independent system
Now, third generation intelligent cabling
system, integrate with network device NMS
4. 4
How about Optical Cabling System
ODN equipments is the optical cabling system
Backbone, Metro, Datacenter, Access FTTx network
We are in generation Zero – Using Sticker and Labeling
5. 5
Challenges of current Optical cabling System
Three
Challenges
Optimize the OAM
Massive fiber resource
Devices and ports increasing
Many “dummy” ports
1 Raise service provisioning efficiency
Traditional complicated procedure
Paper work-order, low efficiency
Incorrect information, many mistake
2
Unified Resource Management
Connect with resource management system
Device scattered distributed, hard to locate
Separate management
