METHOD FOR VALIDATING AN AS-BUILT FTTH NETWORK

The present invention provides new method to be used to validate the as-built of FTTH projects, based on the end-to-end inventory information and FTTH/GPON rules applied to ODP(s), to declare them "ready for service". The method assures end-to-end (ISP and OSP) inventory consistency and FTTH/GPON rules conformance. Additionally, it allows the inventory of FTTH projects to be partially approved, the network operator may put on service parts of the project, as long as the network is being deployed and start selling FTTH services earlier. This method presents a new as-built validation paradigm, that verifies the readiness of service each ODP of an FTTH project, guaranteeing, the end-to-end fibre connectivity between the ODP and the OLT(s) located at the CO, the split ratio of each ODP access port follows the configured value (typically 1:64), and the estimated optical budget of each ODP access port is conformant to GPON attenuation standards.
