Architecture
The GIS-based Network Inventory System allows users to add and relate data through GIS editors with geotagged information stored on a central server. Mobile applications communicate via LTE, using geolocation to perform onsite maintenance, which is instantly reflected on the web application. Both scheduled and on-demand maintenance tasks are seamlessly managed.
Applications
Asset Visualization
Provides a geographical view of network assets, such as fiber routes, towers, and equipment, making it easy to track and manage infrastructure visually.
Route Planning
Helps in designing and optimizing network routes by leveraging geographical data, allowing for efficient placement of new assets and minimizing construction or maintenance costs.
Fault Localization
Identifies the exact location of faults or issues within the network infrastructure, reducing the time needed for repairs and improving service restoration times.
Data Integration
Combines network data with GIS maps to provide comprehensive insights, such as environmental factors, population density, or proximity to other infrastructure.
Capacity Planning
Assists in evaluating the network's current capacity and planning future expansions by identifying high-demand areas and optimizing resource allocation.
Regulatory Compliance
Helps telecom and utility companies comply with regulatory requirements by maintaining accurate, location-based records of network infrastructure.
Workforce Management
Enhances the efficiency of field teams by providing precise geographical locations of assets, enabling better coordination of maintenance and repair efforts.
Risk Management
Assesses potential risks to network infrastructure from environmental factors like floods, earthquakes, or other natural disasters by overlaying hazard maps onto the network layout.
Benefits
Centralizes geotagged asset data and ensures real-time synchronization, enhancing asset management and operational reliability. It improves maintenance efficiency by enabling both scheduled and on-demand tasks through precise geolocation, while optimizing resource allocation. Additionally, seamless remote and onsite coordination boosts overall network performance and reduces downtime.
GIS-Based Network Inventory Tool
The GIS-based Network Inventory Tool module integrates spatial data management into the asset management system, providing comprehensive mapping and tracking of network infrastructure.
By utilizing geotagging, it accurately locates assets, enabling efficient remote maintenance and proactive management. This seamless integration enhances operational efficiency and ensures the reliability of network resources.
