Making fiber network connectivity modeling easier

Connectivity modeling, or ensuring that fiber strands, splices, and equipment accurately mirror real-world configurations, is fundamental to fiber network management. In a recent poll conducted by 3-GIS, 40% of respondents answered that making logical connections and splicing consumed most of their time when it comes to network modeling.^* Though challenging, streamlining this process is possible. Let’s explore a few ways to do so using 3-GIS | Web.
