- VIAVI Solutions (VIAV, Financial) and 3-GIS partner to enhance fiber fault location capabilities, now deployed at Windstream Wholesale.
- The integration automates manual processes, improves fault detection, and speeds issue resolution.
- This partnership aims to support the rising demand for reliable fiber networks in AI/ML and high-performance computing sectors.
VIAVI Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV) and 3-GIS have announced a strategic partnership to revolutionize fiber network maintenance by integrating VIAVI's ONMSi Remote Fiber Test System with 3-GIS's geospatial capabilities. This partnership, already implemented at Windstream Wholesale, aims to provide faster and more accurate fiber fault location capabilities, significantly enhancing network maintenance efficiency.
The integrated solution automates previously manual processes, allowing for instant detection of fiber impairments and streamlining maintenance operations. This enhanced system enables proactive customer notifications and faster resolution of fiber faults, reducing operational costs and service downtime. At Windstream Wholesale, these improvements have translated into optimized technician dispatch and enhanced service reliability.
This collaboration comes at a critical juncture as the deployment of fiber networks increases across various sectors to support data-intensive applications such as AI/ML and high-performance computing. The ability to quickly identify and resolve network issues is essential to maintaining high service quality and meeting the growing demands of the digital infrastructure landscape.
VIAVI's enhanced fault location capabilities, coupled with 3-GIS's geospatial intelligence, are set to transform the traditionally reactive process of fiber network maintenance into a proactive strategy. By leveraging existing GIS investments, the partnership aims to provide service providers with a more reliable and cost-effective solution for managing complex fiber networks.
