Abstract

A system ( 10 ) for monitoring a network is formed by a plurality of devices ( 12 ), each device ( 12 ) of the plurality of devices having at least one status sensor ( 13 ) measuring at least one physical parameter of the device ( 12 ). The system ( 10 ) further has a monitoring platform ( 14 ) communicating with the at least one status sensor ( 13 ) by means of a telecommunications network ( 16 ).

Claims (10)

1. A system for monitoring a network comprising:

a plurality of devices, wherein each device of said plurality of devices has at least one status sensor measuring at least one physical parameter measured by contact with said device or originating from an environment of said device, wherein said physical parameters are selected from any one of moisture content, temperature, shock occurrence, air quality, or smoke detection, and wherein said system further comprises a monitoring platform communicating with said at least one status sensor by a telecommunications network,

wherein said monitoring platform comprises a log for recording the date, time, and duration of interventions carried out by technicians on said network formed by said plurality of devices, as well as values of said physical parameters measured by said one or more sensors at the beginning and the end of the intervention,

wherein said monitoring platform further comprises a failure detection device for detecting and locating a failure status on said network formed by said plurality of devices, and associating said failure status with said at least one status sensor, and

wherein the monitoring platform is configured to associate a particular status of a status sensor with a failure, listing the ranges of values of the status sensor during normal operation.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein said network formed by said plurality of devices is a fibre optic telecommunications network and said plurality of devices comprises at least one device from among an optical connection node, a splicing point, a pooling point, an outdoor termination box, a branch point, a termination point or a network demarcation point.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein said network formed by said plurality of devices is a mobile telecommunications network.

4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein said network of said plurality of devices is a water or energy supply network.

5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein said network formed by said plurality of devices is a public lighting network.

6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein said network formed by said plurality of devices is a traffic signal network.
