Abstract

This study presented a Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) network management system named Smart Access Network_Testing, Analyzing and Database (SANTAD) for optical monitoring and network troubleshooting based on Visual Basic. SANTAD is the new upgraded values of recent FTTH technology toward the implementation of smart network, which involved in the centralized monitoring, failure detection, automatic recovery and increases the survivability and maintainability of FTTH. The working principles of SANTAD are structured into remote access control and advanced data analyzing for pre-configured protection and post-fault restoration in FTTH. The developed program is able to quick identify any occurrence of fault and address the exact failure location in the network system. This study also described how the FTTH can reduce the greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in order to contribute to wider global struggle to ensure our future environment and discussed the uses of laser as optical source in optical fiber communication system as well as the eye safety issues with laser.
