Benefits for the Optical Network Operators
Why should an Optical Network Operator be interested
An Optical network Operator should be interested in this solution for the following reasons:
1. Backbone Network faults such as fiber cuts result in interruption of service causing loss of revenue. This solution is designed to both prevent and minimize this revenue loss.
2. If response time of a fault repair can be improved, operators would be able to offer reduced time to repair and hence could charge for better SLA (Service level Agreements). This solution helps reduce time to repair faults. As a consequence, it increases the revenue of the Telco.
3. Adoption of this solution by a carrier should result in increased automation of the network operations and thus increase accuracies and reduce dependence on human resources. As a consequence, it should reduce the operations cost of the operators.
