As-built documentation
Records that describe the installed infrastructure after construction and agreed changes. They support handover and future work and should be reconciled with the actual installation.

DWDM
Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing carries multiple optical channels at different wavelengths over a fiber. Planning must consider the transmission system, route and optical performance.
Related expertise ↗Edge datacenter
Computing and communications infrastructure located close to the systems or users it serves. Even a compact installation requires coordinated space, cabling, power and cooling.
Related expertise ↗Fiber optic sensing
The use of optical fiber as part of a sensing system. The measured quantities, spatial resolution and achievable coverage depend on the sensing technology and installation.
Related expertise ↗IT / OT
Information technology supports information processing and business systems. Operational technology monitors or controls physical processes. Their interfaces need coordinated operational and security requirements.
Related expertise ↗Patch monitoring
Monitoring the state of supported physical patch connections. Coverage and detection functions depend on the system and monitored points; it complements network supervision.
Related expertise ↗Redundancy
Providing additional paths or components to support availability when something fails. Shared ducts, rooms, power or other dependencies can still create common failure points.
Related expertise ↗Splice plan
A record of how individual fibers are joined at a splice location. Clear cable and fiber identifiers help trace a connection through multiple locations.
Related expertise ↗Structured cabling
An organized cabling infrastructure with defined routes, terminations and identifiers. It provides a manageable basis for connections and later changes.
Related expertise ↗Technical room
A dedicated space for infrastructure equipment. Layout planning coordinates racks, cable routes, access, power, cooling and project-specific operational requirements.
