The Challenge

Fiber network SLA breach investigations taking hours or days to complete. Manual OTDR analysis, root cause identification, and report generation bottlenecked incident response. Field crews dispatched without detailed failure analysis, increasing mean time to repair (MTTR). No automated way to correlate alarms with precise failure locations and actionable repair instructions.

What We Built

Deployed AI-powered fiber network analytics system with autonomous failure analysis
Integrated with ADVA FSP3000 ALM monitoring equipment for real-time OTDR data ingestion
Built AI agent using Claude (Anthropic) for intelligent OTDR trace interpretation
Automated root cause analysis correlating failure signatures with probable causes
Generated comprehensive audit reports within minutes of alarm detection
Created field crew dispatch instructions with precise failure locations (±15 meters)
Implemented automated SLA breach detection and documentation
Delivered audit-ready reports with technical depth matching senior engineer analysis

Technology Stack

Claude AI OTDR Systems Python Machine Learning ADVA FSP3000 Network Monitoring Automated Reporting

Security & Compliance

  • AI agent operates in isolated environment with controlled data access
  • All analysis fully auditable with decision tracing and explainability
  • OTDR measurement data encrypted in transit and at rest
  • Access controls limiting system interaction to authorized personnel
  • Complete audit trail of AI-generated decisions and recommendations

The Results

Incident reports generated in minutes vs. hours (95% time reduction)

Automated root cause analysis with 95% confidence scoring

Precise failure localization (20.03 km ± 15 meters) enabling faster field response

SLA breach documentation ready for stakeholders within minutes

Reduced MTTR by 60% through faster diagnosis and dispatch

Field crews arrive with actionable intelligence instead of guesswork

Complete audit reports with technical analysis rivaling senior engineers

Why catdev?

Telecom infrastructure monitoring requires deep domain expertise in fiber optics, OTDR analysis, and network engineering—combined with cutting-edge AI capabilities. catdev delivered an AI agent that doesn't just detect failures, but performs expert-level analysis faster than humans. The system generates reports with technical depth that would take experienced engineers hours to produce, all while being fully auditable and explainable for regulatory compliance.
