As telecommunication networks become more advanced at an ever-greater scale, the supervision and monitoring of equipment is vital for optimizing performance, detecting and resolving faults promptly, and ensuring proactive maintenance. In response, digital networks have built a significant and standardized infrastructure around industry-based protocols called Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) that enables network-wide supervision.

However, unlike other equipment in a telecommunication network, RF-over-fiber (RFoF) links aren’t standardized. RFoF is a technique of converting RF into lightwaves for secure, resilient, long-distance data transmission.
