New Zealand is entering a new phase of national fibre expansion, and the new demands of increasing AI workloads and digital inclusion are set to push existing networks far beyond their original design parameters.

To manage the new demands, advanced fibre optic testing will start to become less of a peripheral function and more of a mission-critical safeguard for performance and resilience.

Field teams using the latest in optical testing technology and techniques can identify attenuation leakage and degradation issues, allowing for proactive repairs, headroom gain, and helping to justify replacements and upgrades. As we move into the future for New Zealand’s fibre optic infrastructure, advanced optical testing and in detailed analysis isn’t just an option, it’s a strategy.

Like all infrastructure, fibre optic networks degrade over time. Cables are vulnerable to wear and tear, physical damage, and signal degradation. Replacing them can be very expensive and disruptive.

Even small issues can become big problems if they’re not dealt with soon enough. Regular testing and monitoring can identify risks early, before they turn into major liabilities.

Routine optical health checks employing the latest in optical testing technology to allow you detect and deal with issues as they arise, avoiding emergency repairs and costly replacements.
