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.

Decoding customer needs with GIS

Data, data, data. We are all about data. It is the foundation of today's telco world, from where to deploy next to how to serve our customers best. We know telecommunications companies are constantly seeking innovative ways to make their data more actionable. Enter GIS (or Geographic Information System). The GIS market in telecommunications is booming, with revenues expected to grow from $1.56 billion in 2021 to $4.48 billion by 2030.1 This exponential growth underscores the transformative impact of GIS on the industry.

No more versioning?

For physical network inventory systems, especially for fiber networks, versioning is a crucial concept. Versioning allows network planners and engineers to manage multiple states of a network, including how the network currently exists (as-built) and how it is planned to be (future state). Traditional versioning methods, however, come with significant challenges. In this blog, we will explore these challenges and the alternative provided by 3-GIS.

Leveraging AI and automation to streamline data collection and management

Telecom network operators face several data challenges, including as-built backlogs, data silos, and legacy system limitations. Manual data entry and cumbersome workflows contribute to these issues, often resulting in poor data quality and missing information. Addressing these challenges involves not only improving data collection processes but also implementing robust data management practices to ensure data integrity and accessibility.
