Empirical Study on GPON Technology & GPON OLT Configuration with Troubleshooting

Abstract

As a fresher network support engineer, Network management is a very challenging career. In telecommunication network management, Network engineers face the challenge of designing a whole network with layer, timely monitoring its performance, and ensuring its security for unexpected threat. This entails dealing with intricate vendor-specific configurations at a granular level to successfully execute sophisticated network policies at a higher efficiency level. Despite numerous prior suggestions aimed at simplifying network management, it is worth noting that several approaches to address network management issues can be considered temporary fixes due to the inherent challenges associated with altering the fundamental infrastructure. Iqra Technologies Ltd stands out as a notable entity within the landscape of prominent corporations in Bangladesh. The primary emphasis of this practicum report is on the central branch of optical fiber communication. This report comprehensively analyzes the current FTTx network architecture, communication protocols, support and maintenance procedures, security measures, troubleshoots and development strategies employed by Iqra Technologies Ltd. The current network is adequately structured and has been recently updated. However, this report also acknowledges and discusses certain limits that can be resolved. The issue of network administration is significantly complicated. Build and monitor a network to ensure security; network engineers must deploy cost-effective devices and expert skills to implement high-level network regulations effectively. Nowadays, it's a challenge to maintain additional remedies for addressing network management challenges to avoid temporary solutions. Temporary solutions are not solutions. FTTX network needs a long-term reliable solution.
