Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider,  has completed deployment of an intelligent optical distribution network (iODN) for Rostelecom in Perm Krai, Russia. This is the first iODN in Russia, providing superior service experiences to broadband subscribers.
 
Rostelecom is the largest fixed network operator in Russia. To maintain its competitive advantage and enrich service offerings, Rostelecom has planned to roll out high-speed broadband over fiber to the home (FTTH), but with concerns over the deployment efficiency and O&M of the fiber network infrastructure. Huawei's iODN solution is set to effectively combat these challenges.
 
Using this solution, fiber utilization is improved through electronic and transparent resource management, protecting investment in infrastructure and reducing capacity expansion costs. It also supports real-time monitoring of network construction progress and resilient adjustment of fiber links, enabling fast service provisioning.Furthermore, a multi-level link-quality-assurance mechanism is introduced to enhance network reliability and simplify O&M. This mechanism allows for real-time monitoring of link quality and fast fault diagnosis.
 
"The iODU network deployed by Huawei is great. It simplifies the O&M of fiber networks, helping us deliver high-quality services and lower O&M costs." said Korolev K.G., chief technology officer (CTO) of Rostelecom's Perm branch.
