ODN Network Construction: Enhancing Efficiency and Digitalization.
1. Introduction to ODN Network Construction
In pursuing Fibre to Everywhere, the Fifth Generation Fixed Network (F5G) envisions a comprehensive and well-managed Optical Distribution Network (ODN) construction process that is fast, flexible, and efficient.?
Traditional approaches to ODN networking and construction encounter challenges like low efficiency and disorganized resource management, resulting in high costs. These challenges become more apparent in low-density access scenarios where the deployment of optical fibers is both expensive and inefficient.?
Therefore, in the F5G era, it is crucial for ODN development to address these construction issues and enable the establishment of flexible, rapidly deployable, and easily manageable ODN systems.
2. Scope of ODN Network Construction
To tackle these challenges, innovative solutions for quick ODN construction and digital management have emerged. These solutions aim to enhance the efficiency of fiber deployment, enable digital resource management, and improve the overall operational and management efficiency for carriers.?
The system structure of the digitalized quick ODN involves various components such as pre-connectorized ODN product modules, digital labels, intelligent management terminals, and intelligent optical distribution network management systems.?
While primarily applicable to intelligent optical distribution networks within access networks, these solutions can also serve as a reference for other networks utilizing optical fiber connections. These optical distribution networks can gather ODN information using smart terminal devices, such as smartphones equipped with ODN management applications, and leverage digital labels integrated into ODN devices.?
