ADVA
announced that Tele2 Estonia has deployed the ADVA ALM fiber monitoring
solution for real-time assurance across its national network. The compact,
plug-and-play device boosts operational efficiency and service availability.
This helps Tele2 Estonia to improve customer experience and offer enhanced
SLAs. Managed by the Ensemble Controller network management system with
Ensemble Fiber Director, the solution gives Tele2 Estonia’s field forces full
control over their optical infrastructure. With its simple graphical overlay,
the ADVA ALM precisely pinpoints the
location of fiber impairments, enabling proactive maintenance, reducing repair
times and preventing network outages.
“With the
ADVA ALM, we can offer even more value to our customers. Needing no
calibration, it easily plugged into our infrastructure to instantly provide
detailed info on any fiber event. Having the ability to rapidly respond to
network issues and take immediate targeted action helps us ensure zero downtime
and uninterrupted connectivity,” said Asse Hang, head of international sales at
Tele2 Estonia. “This deployment is also central to our role as a sustainability
leader. As the first communication service provider (CSP) in the Baltic region
to have achieved climate neutral operations, we’re dedicated to reducing
environmental impact in every aspect of our business. The ADVA ALM fiber
monitoring solution enables us to dramatically decrease truck rolls, helping to
further cut our carbon footprint”.
The ADVA
ALM is a low-power, service-agnostic solution that offers total fiber
infrastructure visibility. Requiring no active equipment at the user site, it’s
now delivering comprehensive insight into the integrity and performance of
Tele2 Estonia’s fiber infrastructure. The Ensemble Fiber Director provides a
GIS-based, real-time graphical user interface that proactively notifies the
CSP’s field forces of any fiber anomaly, enabling them to take countermeasures
before problems develop and services are affected. With complete control, Tele2
Estonia is now significantly improving robustness and efficiency across its
nationwide network, which is built on the ADVA FSP 3000.
“Tele2
Estonia is a CSP committed to adding value for its customers. Now it’s
harnessing our ALM as part of its mission to eradicate network downtime. With
round-the-clock fiber monitoring, Tele2 Estonia can initiate instant
troubleshooting, helping to avoid service disruption and empowering it to offer
more valuable SLAs,” commented Hartmut Müller-Leitloff, SVP of sales, EMEA at
ADVA. “Uniquely compact and affordable, there really is no other fiber
assurance technology on the market that delivers as much with such little
investment. Our ALM is the easiest way to guarantee superior network
performance, save time and money, and help tackle environmental impact.”
