About
The evolution of the telecommunications market, more and more demanding in quality standards,
speed, services and so on and also economical and competitiveness factors has changed the trend in
telecommunications installations, and increasingly, fiber-optics is being imposed on traditional ADSL
twisted-pair copper lines. For this reason and in anticipation of an increase of fiber-optics
installations, the Optical Power Meter was added to the Smart Penguin. It allows measurements on
optical fiber networks, which are necessary to certify an installation according to the parameters set
by local policies.
