Is the most comprehensive geospatial solution for the design andmanagement of both inside and outside physical network

Provides tools to create, document and manage an end-to-end model of the

network elements

Key Functions

Sophisticated project management is

accomplished for each project from planning to

build-out. Tasks, materials, resources, duration and cost

Is the foundation for the flexibility and functionality of the system. Business rules, objects and reference data enables you to model your

business processes

The Window to your Communications Network Data and Intelligent Network Diagrams

Provides a quick view of the Network Engineer data that is beneficial to stakeholders for decision-analysis work order approval, reporting

and data sharing

Works with ESRI® ArcSchematicto generate schematic views of

the network upon demand –offering high level diagrams; low

level diagrams; splice closure diagrams and duct occupancy

Product Functionality


� Cabling installations require reading electrical or fiber schematics (logical diagrams). These physical representations of the cabling are often difficult to interpret.

� Providers must continually ask:

– Where are cable runs now?

– Where are the connections?

– Where are all the associated references?

� Design engineering and project management is complex– complicated by budget constraints and time sensitivities.

� Project engineers spend substantia l amounts of time doing records research - requir ing engineers to manually sift through reams of information - often outdated or incorrect.

�� A Geospatial Network Management System

Provides answers to the following questions

�� Where are my…• Facilities• Customers• Properties• Faults• Alarms• Signal Strengths• Available Capacities

And How Are They Related?


� Enables the efficient allocation of people and resources

� Project managers adhere to budget constraints through the management of their OSP assets

� Managers can schedule manpower, generate status reports, and assemble business intelligence

� Engineers work more effectively

– Engineers can see the best options for running cable in terms of available buildings and routes - along with exact locations of outside plant terminals

� Outside plant assets (physical network inventory) can include:� devices, tracks, ducts, pipes/bores,

cables, coil/over-lengths, manholes, fiber, splices, distribution frames, poles and other aerial and underground items as well as connectivity and topology information

Complete Outside Plant management tools for creating, placing, and editing network spans, structures, transmedia, and equipment.

All network elements and network-related structures are available for v isualization, analysis, reporting, bill-of-materials generation, and map and map book production.

Outside Plant Management


��

Inside Plant Management

Use the ISP management

feature to document and

associate inventory with a

network structure - such

as a central office, an

equipment vault, or a

cabinet


� Complete editing functions are provided to manage netw ork connectivity

– Port level connectivity management– Interconnection of equipment-to-

equipment– Connection of equipment to cable– Connection of cable to splice closure

This detailed schematic shows the port level connections supporting the metropolitan ring. The ring is highlighted on the map canvas in red, with the landbase layers turned off for easy viewing.


This Splice Schematic reflects the four fiber cables spliced at this point. Strand connections are currently un-grouped, however, for detailed splices, the strands can be grouped for easier viewing as shown on the following slide.
