For the first time, network operators will be able to permanently monitor and detect faults in the fiber lines in PON and FTTx networks, by putting up a server in their data center, rather than sending staff to the subscriber's premises.

FiSEC new flag ship product FM PON Server 1000 is based on patented next-generation C-OTDR and T-OTDR technologies.


According to Thomas Hohendanner, CEO of FiSEC, the new server product will be released in early Q3 2010.
More information can be found in FiSEC's Product Center.

FiSEC announces a new member of its traffic monitoring product line to be released in summer 2010. At a very competitive price, TM WTS 20 will enable cities, governments and private road owners to measure, classify and control car and truck traffic. It has the size of a car stick shift and can be easily embedded into the surface of roads and highways within 1 hour. Like its pre-decessors, TM WTS 20 relies on a built-in earth magnetic field sensor and state-of-the-art signal-processing and classification software.  TM WTS 20 is capable of counting cars and trucks while they are standing or driving at speeds up to 200 km/h. Also car speed measurements can be obtained by deploying a series of devices. Depending on product variant, the data is read out to a notebook computer through a wireless interface or sent to the data center by mobile phone technologies.
