As telecoms systems and dark fibre contracts become more complex, the actual performance of an installed fibre link has become critical. Reliable and intelligent information about link performance is needed to support key decisions. This is why fibre characterisation has become so essential.

More and more customers are now turning to OTT’s specialist range of top end fibre characterisation services to provide that crucial support with complex and sometimes technically confusing issues.

We recommend that fibres are characterised for their ability to support high data rates and extended wavelength operation. The answers could make the difference between halving or doubling the capacity of a link.

We offer a comprehensive range of services, so we can provide the right support for you at whatever level you need it and wherever you fit in the supply chain.
