Localizing anomalies of a fiber optic network within the context of a geographic map

Abstract:

Systems and methods for displaying a localization of one or more anomalies in a fiber optic network are provided. In one implementation, a system includes a processing device and a memory device. The memory device is configured to store an anomaly localization module having logic instructions, which, when executed, cause the processing device to display, on a Graphical User Interface (GUI), Network Elements (NEs) and physical fiber plant links of a fiber optic network on a generalized geographical map. Responsive to a user selection, the logic instructions are further configured to cause the processing device to display, on the GUI, a physical fiber plant map based on obtained geographical coordinates of components associated with the fiber optic network.
