Deutsche Telekom Selects Yokogawa for Development of FTTH Networks
Tokyo, Mar 7, 2011 (JCN) - Deutsche Telekom has selected Yokogawa's AQ1200 Micro-OTDR as a key test tool for its deployment of Fibre to the Home (FTTH) networks.
Deutsche Telekom has launched a fibre optic development pilot project in Dresden which will vastly improve access to the Internet. The outcome of this pilot project will be incorporated in the expansion of Deutsche Telekom's installation of FTTH.
The installers are faced with the challenge of extending or replacing the previous copper technology with optical transfer technology. An important method of inspection for this is the optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). Each installation team must be equipped with an OTDR in order to measure and document the parameters of the optical fibres laid.
For the additional development of the FTTH network, Deutsche Telekom decided on the Yokogawa AQ1200 Micro-OTDR which, for the first time, enables measurements with a wavelength of 1650 nm to be taken with a compact test instrument.
