Access networks are build around complex topologies with many passive components, aggregating many customer connections to central datacenter infrastructures. Service providers experience outages by cable disruptions or defects in passives, like fiber splitters or HFC amplifiers/nodes/taps. Finding issues in complex passive topologies often feels like finding the needle in a haystack, while providers have strict SLA's towards customers. Up to 70% of today's call drivers can be caused by bad WiFi at customer
Fiber networks are implemented on components as OLT, ODF, trunk/feeder, outdoor closure/pole housing distribution- and access splitters. Cable strands in ducts are vulnerable for digging while pole topologies bring other challenges. ODF/splitters are quite sensitive for connector insert faults, while cross-contamination on connectors can cause degradations over the years.
DOCSIS deployments over HFC infrastructures come with similar issues as Fiber networks, PLUS the RF issues, like interference, reflections. Through noise-funneling, upstream RF impairments can cause quality issues through the whole segment, making fault-finding a cumbersome, sometimes hairpulling effort.
