RFID fiber asset management
KingNeed’s RFID fiber asset management solution helps operators identify fiber ports and patch cords, keep fiber records accurate and control changes at ODFs, cross-connect cabinets and splitter sites. Field teams can scan locally through an OTG connection to a mobile device (no Bluetooth pairing required) or report remotely over 4G, with the reader running on its built-in battery or external power. KingNeed states that the system can scan 1,000+ fiber ports in just 20 seconds.
If you are new to the topic, start with the overview and the comparison with AIM patch panels. If you already have a network to retrofit, read the baseline audit checklist, the ODF and cabinet retrofit guide and the pilot guide before estimating scope. Procurement teams should review the cost factors and supplier checklist together. To compare hardware options, visit the fiber asset management systems series.
