VIAVI Solutions Inc. has announced a partnership with 3-GIS, a leading provider of fiber network design and management software, to enhance fiber fault location capabilities. The collaboration aims to empower businesses by automating the previously manual process of fault detection and resolution, utilizing customers' existing Geographic Information System $(GIS)$ investments. This joint solution, already in use at Windstream Wholesale, promises significant improvements in network maintenance, minimizing downtime, and reducing operational costs. The partnership combines VIAVI's diagnostic precision with 3-GIS's geospatial intelligence, offering faster and more accurate fault resolution, which translates into optimized field operations and stronger service level agreement performance. This strategic move allows service providers to maintain their networks more efficiently while enhancing reliability and customer satisfaction.
