A Gigabit Passive Optical Network lab designed by AKADEMIKA provides a safe and controlled environment for experimenting with different GPON configurations, network topologies, and equipment settings. It allows students to test different scenarios, evaluate performance, and identify potential issues.
State-of-the-Art Training Equipment: The laboratory is equipped with a Fiber Optic Training System to get a real-world understanding of Fiber Optic Technology in a laboratory environment, professional test and measuring instruments, and fault-finding event modules to enhance learning.
Training Modules: The laboratory offers a comprehensive curriculum that covers fundamental concepts of fiber optics, optical networks, and their design, deployment, and commissioning.
Maintenance: The Laboratory focuses on the specific maintenance procedures for Optical systems, including inspection, cleaning, and testing of various components. Students learn how to properly handle and maintain optical Equipments.
Troubleshooting Techniques: The laboratory covers troubleshooting techniques for identifying and resolving common issues that may arise in optical networks. Students learn how to use diagnostic tools and test equipment to locate faults, isolate problems, and restore service.
Fiber Optic Testing: A significant portion of the curriculum is dedicated to fiber optic testing in optical networks. Students learn how to use optical power meters, OTDRs, and other testing equipment to measure optical power levels, identify signal degradation, and troubleshoot fiber optic cables and connectors.
Hands-on Practical Exercises: Practical hands-on exercises play a crucial role, allowing students to apply the theoretical knowledge they have gained
