Rapid, informed response for your subsea optical network issues

INOC noc support instant messaging

Building modern operational support structures requires an understanding of the unique challenges facing submarine cable networks. With extensive experience supporting terrestrial optical networks, we extend these capabilities to the seafloor through NOC support for subsea networks. As subsea operators build new cable systems and upgrade existing ones to meet the unprecedented bandwidth demand, reliable NOC support has become a key evaluation criterion for their customers.

Besides a deep knowledge of long-haul and ultra-long-haul fiber cable, submarine networks require handling of issues caused by external sources—usually vessel anchoring. We understand submarine network technologies and components, as well as terrestrial network segments, and work with various third parties including OEMs and submarine cable maintenance companies to rapidly respond to support issues.

A sample of supported subsea network technologies and components:

Optical Elements
Element Management Systems (EMS)
Building Management Systems (BMS)
Quality of Service (QoS) alarms
Optical Failure alarms
Cable Landing Station (CLS)
Joint System Maintenance Document (JSMD)
Line Terminal Equipment (LTE)
Power Feeding Equipment (PFE)
Remote Fiber Testing Equipment (RFTE)

"INOC plays a critical role in protecting vital terrestrial and subsea networks that demand the very best in monitoring. To us, an issue left undetected can compound into a multi-million-dollar fix. INOC’s expertise and responsiveness have become indispensable for our clients who rely on these networks. Notifications are escalated exactly where they need to go and we can meet virtually any reporting demand our clients bring to us."
