procedures, PON networks installation, commissioning and monitoring, and provides comprehensive base for PON researching.
Laboratory is presented itself as standard PON fragment and includes all over network elements of fiber-optic link from carrier’s central office to subscriber/user premises.
Such construction allows practical exercises and investigations to study PON topology and network architecture.
Laboratory comprises 10 PON mounter’s workstations. Each workstation support obtaining practical skills in PON construction and deployment, fiber-optic cables mounting and repair, measuring of network performance, as well as PON configuring and monitoring. The laboratory stand arrangement facilitates tenable and secure elements installation and removing
without such tools as screwdrivers and pliers, etc.
Laboratory is equipped with appliances for vocational training, for teaching on bachelor’s and master’s programs level and for R&D tasks performing.
