  • Patent number: 9584219
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for monitoring optical communications between a managed location and a remote location. In particular, an optical signal is transmitted over an optical fiber and passed-through a test device. A portion of the optical signal is filtered from the original optical signal and passed to a monitoring unit. The monitoring unit may instruct one or more switches in the test device to loop the optical signal back toward the managed location. Subsequently, testing and monitoring may be performed at the managed location. The device may provide a test output or may transmit the information to the managed location.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130325553
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve apparatus, systems and methods for generating and converting sales opportunities. The apparatus and system may involves an applicatoin and various possible graphical user interfaces (GUI's) running on some form of smart tablet type computing device that accesses geographical information, customer analytic information, and telecommunication infrastructure (or other technical infrastructure) and allows a user to define an optimal travel route between various possible customer based on geographic, customer and infrastructure criteria.
