Stop Reacting, Start Predicting: Automate Your Fiber Network Monitoring.
The G-Link FAMS fiber monitoring system turns a passive cable network into a self-reporting asset—OTDR + RTU scan every fiber 24/7 and localize faults in ≤2 minutes, and helps you prevent network outages before they happen. The trusted, ISO-certified solution for telecom operators and data centers.
Are Manual Inspections and Unexpected Downtime Hurting Your Operations?
Traditional fiber network maintenance is reactive, expensive, and inefficient. You might be facing:
- Slow Fault Response: It takes hours, or even days, to locate a fiber break, leading to costly service level agreement (SLA) penalties and unhappy customers.
- High Operational Costs: Constantly dispatching technicians and vehicles for routine manual testing is a significant drain on your budget and manpower.
- No Predictive Insight: You can’t see gradual signal degradation or predict potential failures, leaving you vulnerable to sudden, critical outages.
- Complex Troubleshooting: Distinguishing between an equipment failure and a cable fault is difficult, leading to wasted time and resources.
- Incomplete Data: Manual test results are often poorly managed, making it impossible to compare historical data and track long-term network health.
The Intelligent Solution: G-Link's FAMS Fiber Monitoring System
The G-Link Optical Cable Automatic Monitoring & Management System (FAMS) transforms your network maintenance from a reactive chore into a proactive, intelligent operation.
Our system acts as your network’s 24/7 watchtower, leveraging advanced OTDR technology to provide a complete, real-time view of your fiber infrastructure’s health. It automatically detects, locates, and reports issues, allowing your team to fix problems faster and manage resources smarter.
How It Works? A Smarter Workflow for a Healthier Network
1. Continuous Monitoring
Our high-performance Remote Test Units (RTU) with integrated OTDR modules are deployed across your network, continuously collecting performance data from every single fiber core.
2. Intelligent Analysis
The central NMS-FAMS software platform receives the data and, using our intelligent algorithms (iAM), instantly analyzes it against historical trends and pre-set thresholds.
3. Instant Alerts & Action
If a fault or potential risk is detected, the system immediately pinpoints the location on a GIS map and notifies your team via SMS and the platform dashboard, providing actionable reports.
Features & Benefits: From Advanced Features to Tangible Business Benefits
Pinpoint Faults with Unmatched Precision Our OTDR-based analysis engine not only detects fiber breaks but also identifies subtle performance degradation. With advanced algorithms, FAMS can even test through PON splitters up to 1:128, giving you full network visibility.
- What this means for you: Reduce troubleshooting time by up to 90%. Send technicians to the exact location, the first time.
Visualize Your Entire Network with GIS Mapping Forget confusing spreadsheets. FAMS displays your entire optical cable infrastructure on a live, interactive GIS map. See all your cable routes, key assets, and any alarm locations at a glance.
- What this means for you: Make faster, more informed decisions. Easily manage cable resources and optimize routes.
Protect Your Assets with Vibration Sensing Our system can detect and locate abnormal vibrations caused by nearby construction, digging, or tampering, sending you an alert before the cable is physically damaged.
- What this means for you: Prevent costly damage from third-party interference. Secure your critical infrastructure proactively.
Customize Alarms and Manage Your Team Efficiently Set tiered alarm levels based on severity and create custom user roles with different access permissions. Ensure the right people get the right information at the right time.
- What this means for you: Focus on critical alerts, eliminate noise, and enhance operational security with multi-user level management.
