AND FiberManagement

Highly intuitive easy-to-learn client for the complete life-cycle of all types of fiber network

AND FiberManagement covers design, documentation and operational support of all types of fibre networks including FTTH, FTTx (e.g. Active Ethernet), FTTD/O as well as campus networks. The integrated network modelling enables the user to accurately plan, engineer, verify as well as document network builds, upgrades and extensions.

Components are documented in the AND libraries according to their technical specifications. When designing your network you go to your library and select the component you require and drop this onto the network. There are of course compatibility checks, e.g. so you don’t lay the incorrect cable.

This drag & drop approach allows you to quickly draw you network. With integrated engineering functions you are also able to calculate the optical power and RF levels as you draw. Furthermore, at any stage you can verify your design work. With a mouse click you also get the bill of materials as well as estimated manpower costs and effort.

One of the essential requirements for an access solution is the ability to be able to efficiently design & document right into the apartment / home and for offices right to the desk. And it is precisely this planning at network level 4 that is one of AND’s many strengths – and actually automated.

Even networks of mixed architecture, e.g. RFoG/HFC or FTTx are managed as a single network with the signal carried transparently through the network to the subscriber, which can be checked at every point in the network.

AND offers comprehensive state-of-the-art functions for civil works, enabling users to competently manage trenches, channels, manholes, masts, etc.

With microducts you’ll be impressed how effortlessly and quickly they can be designed with AND; even in-house microducts are supported. Blowing in the fibre is also very simple to do, plus you also automatically get the optical calculations.

When you have finished your designing task you can then check the viability of your work. AND will locate design issues, e.g. optical power or RF target levels not achieved, insufficient powering, open pins, etc.
