Noemí Merayo Álvarez (Universidad de Valladolid) participates in FOAN 2026

On Wednesday, 4 November, Noemí Merayo Álvarez (Universidad de Valladolid) presented the paper Automated Fault Diagnosis in Gigabit Passive Optical Networks Using Cascaded Neural Network Models at the 14th International Workshop on Fiber Optics in Access Networks (FOAN 2026), held from November 3–5 in Pisa, Italy.

The work presented an AI-based solution for monitoring and fault diagnosis in Passive Optical Networks (PONs), combining Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) with a cascaded neural network architecture. The proposed approach aims to automate fault detection and diagnosis in Gigabit Passive Optical Networks.

The presentation showcased research results developed at the Universidad de Valladolid within the ONOFRE-4 project.
