Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
Technicians and cable installers who install and maintain optical network cables and equipment in Access Networks apply the skills and knowledge in this unit to provide services in Next Generation Networks (NGN) using emerging technologies.
NGN services include internet protocol TV (IPTV), video on demand (VoD), interactive TV, mesh networks and cloud computing.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to work safely on a live optical fibre installation to test and commission a wave division multiplexing (WDM) system or connect a splitter for fibre to the x (FTTx) deployment.
Optical networks and FTTx are part of the strategies by service providers using WDM to deliver very high speed broadband capacity through the access network for the National Broadband Network (NBN) initiative.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement but users should confirm requirements with the relevant federal, state or territory authority.
