Automated identification of fiber capacity in telecom networks
The patent US12034475B2 describes a sophisticated system and method for identifying fiber capacity within a network of optical fiber cabling. Central to this innovation is a management module that interfaces with a capacity utilization pipeline system (CUPS). This system facilitates the discovery of end-to-end connectivity between telecom equipment, enabling the scanning and tracing of both logical and physical link paths. The CUPS module identifies various features of the optical fiber cable, such as the status of fiber strands (lit, unlit, used, and unused), and generates exception reports for connectivity issues. Additionally, it assigns fiber usage based on the traced paths and provides a detailed inventory of fiber status at a granular level.
The patent further outlines enhancements such as the integration of geographical information system (GIS) mapping for spatial analysis and the use of an error correction module to ensure data accuracy during fiber capacity verification. The system is designed to identify optimal locations for fiber tap-offs and includes provisions for maintaining an updated logical inventory based on equipment and port details. Overall, the claims emphasize a comprehensive approach to managing fiber capacity, ensuring efficient utilization and connectivity within telecom networks.
