📊 From Device Monitoring to Network Understanding
Traditional network management systems are great at answering questions like:
But access networks demand different questions:
Those answers don’t live in a single device.
They emerge only when you correlate telemetry, alarms, topology models, OSS data, GIS layers, service inventories, and historical behavior patterns.
This is where observability begins.
- Is my OLT port up?
- Is the CMTS interface flapping?
- Did this node generate an alarm?
But access networks demand different questions:
- Which passive segment is failing?
- Which group of homes shares the same damaged fiber?
- Is this degradation gradual or sudden?
- Is this outage correlated with excavation activity?
- Are we looking at optical degradation, RF impairment, or power loss in the field?
Those answers don’t live in a single device.
