  • Remote monitoring of undersea cable systems
    Patent number: 7805032
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for remotely monitoring undersea cable systems. Upon receiving a fault alert message, an optical cross-connect is set up between the subject cable station and a testing platform. Testing is conducted and a determination is made whether the fault is in the undersea portion of the network, or in the terrestrial backhaul. By making that determination early, unnecessary technician travel is reduced.
