Abstract
An optical fiber analysis device, comprises at least one computer processor, computer memory and wireless network interface. The device also comprises a computer program stored in the computer memory and executable by the at least one processors to: receive and utilize optical fiber field test equipment results, associate the results with newly identified or already known test results, logical connection data, and/or geographical location data, and store the results and their associations in a central object database with similar historic data for the purpose of assessing the integrity of the individual optical fiber segments, the overall level of performance of the individual optical fiber segments, and any change in performance of the individual optical fiber segments over time.
