Abstract: Systems and methods for qualifying external network facilities for a service location of a passive optical network (PON) of a PON service provider are presented. An exemplary method may include obtaining an indication of a service location of the PON and an indication of a set of required optical services at the service location; determining a group of candidate external network provider facilities for the service location of the PON based on geospatial coordinates of the service location and respective geospatial coordinates of the candidate external network provider facilities included in the group; selecting, from among the group of candidate external network provider facilities, an external network provider facility for providing the set of required optical services to the service location; and causing one or more optical services to be delivered to the service location via the selected external network provider facility.

Abstract: Techniques for providing route redundancy for services at a service location of a PON include obtaining indications of a service location of the PON and a set of required services for the location; and detecting, based on geospatial locations and interconnections of optical components of the PON, that two or more physical polyline routes (each configured to support the set of required services at the service location) include different elements, e.g., different on-ramp facilities, network serving equipment, physical polyline route segments connecting to a common component of each of the two or more routes, or serving facilities of one or more providers. The detected two or more routes may be configured to be a set of redundant physical polyline routes for providing the required services to the location. One or more services may be caused to be delivered to the location via the configured set of redundant physical polyline routes.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing an upstream trace operation are presented. An exemplary method may include obtaining an indication of a new service location of a passive optical network (PON); detecting a physical polyline route, within the PON, from an on-ramp facility corresponding to the new service location to a serving office of the PON, the detecting based on (i) respective geospatial locations of a plurality of optical components of the PON, and (ii) interconnections of the plurality of optical components, and the plurality of optical components including the on-ramp location, a terminal disposed at the serving office, and at least one optical fiber optically connecting the on-ramp location and the terminal; and causing optical services to be delivered from the serving office to the new service location via the detected physical polyline route.
