OXG was established in 2023 as a joint venture between Vodafone and Altice, with the aim of accelerating FTTH deployment across Germany. The company has set a target of connecting seven million homes over the next six years.
Streamlining fault detection
By adopting EXFO's RFTM platform, OXG says it is laying the foundation for a proactive and fully automated fibre infrastructure monitoring strategy, with the goal of reducing network downtime and improving service reliability.
Phillip Burkey, head of engineering at OXG, said the decision to work with EXFO came down to the technical depth of the solution and the expertise of the team. "The RFTM platform provides the transparency and automation we need to streamline and simplify operational processes and enables our teams to detect and resolve issues faster," he said, adding that this would ultimately improve service quality for customers.
EXFO's RFTM platform enables operators to deploy, audit, activate and troubleshoot fibre optic networks remotely. The integration marks a step forward in OXG's broader push towards a fully digitalised and resilient network operation strategy in Germany.
End-to-end support
EXFO will support OXG throughout the deployment process, covering solution design, onboarding and end-to-end integration into OXG's operational ecosystem. Ongoing support will also be provided to ensure long-term performance and scalability of the monitoring platform.
Etienne Gagnon, general manager of test and measurement at EXFO, said the partnership reflects growing industry demand for intelligent, automated fibre monitoring. "RFTM was created to help operators increase efficiency, enhance network stability, and reduce operational costs," he said.
