  • Patent number: 11563486
    Abstract: Systems and methods for logical to physical link mapping in a fiber optic network are provided. In one implementation, a method includes receiving geographic data related to one or more fiber links in a fiber optic network; receiving logical links on the one or more fiber links; receiving results from one or more tests performed on the one or more fiber links; utilizing the results to determine a physical representation of the one or more fiber links; and displaying a network map of the fiber optic network with the physical representation.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: January 24, 2023
    Assignee: Ciena Corporation
    Inventors: Gerard L. Swinkels, Christiane Louise Campbell, Tommaso D'Ippolito, Blair Moxon, Anthony Parravano

  • Patent number: 11101884
    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.
