The operational control centre of the Open Fiber networkNetwork In computer language, the term network defines a set of hardware and software devices which, when linked together, enable the exchange and sharing of resources, data or information. In a computer network, the devices that generate, route and terminate data are called network nodes., divided into five major cores: Delivery, Assurance, Network Monitoring, Specialist Support and Control Room. Delivery handles end-user activation on the basis of requests from our Partner Operators who have purchased both active and passive services. Assurance, on the recommendation of the Partner Operator or in the event of an internal alarm, locates any faults and proceeds to repair them. This control and support is guaranteed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Network Monitoring allows the status of individual active fibres, equipment and systems to be monitored and faults to be detected in a very timely manner, with the aim of eliminating or minimising end users’ perception of disruption. Specialist Support and the Control Room support Delivery, Assurance and Network Monitoring by equipping them with all the tools, training and organisation to do their job as effectively as possible.

A distinctive element that makes the Open Fiber SOC unique is that it includes the Rome POP, which will serve the capital city and is the heart of our network. unique is that it includes the Rome POPPOP The POP, ‘Point of Presence’, is located at Enel’s Primary Cabins, but not exclusively; it also acts as a meet-me-room for Operators. It contains each Operator’s OLT equipment, as well as the OTDR monitoring system., which will serve the capital city and is the heart of our network.
