In the past, telecom network management software has solely aimed to address managing and maintaining telecom networks. Over the last three years, however, the explosion in growth of new fiber networks has pushed developers to focus not only on the best ways to manage existing assets, but towards creating tools and workflows to assist in the planning, design and construction of new networks.
These new planning and design tools are particularly important considering how the architecture of new networks in general continues to evolve at a staggering pace, with new types of equipment being introduced near-monthly. End-user demand is changing as well pushing network speeds from 10M B/s to 100M B/s or 1G B/s +. In order to be able to take advantage of the latest advances and stay competitive, organizations need network planning tools thar stay current by evolving alongside changing technology and user demands.
In addition to radid advancements in architecture and speeds, many of the new fiber networks are being implemented by companies that have not historically provided telecom services. The increasing number of service providers combined with high customer demand has created a literal race between competing providers to claim existing infrastructure to build on or to build out new greenfield networks. This race begins at the front-end of the network creation process - the faster a provider can get a network plan, the faster they can obtain permitting and approvals, the faster they can build and sign new customers.
In the rush to plan, design and build in the shortest possible amount of time, thoughts about how the network will be managed and maintained are often pushed until the network is completed. Luckily, 3-GIS has created a tool that seamlessly moves from planning, to design, to construction, to on-going management all in one simple-to-use system.
For years 3-GIS Fiber Management Network Solutions has been an industry-leading platform for managing and maintaining fiber networks, but did you know our platform also includes powerful tools for designing, planning and building fiber networks that have surpassed traditional tools in their ability to create efficient designs quickly?
Our planning, design, and construction tool set focuses on:
- Reducing the time to the initial design
- Improving the speed and accuracy of field surveys
- Accurately estimating materials needed and cost of materials
- Efficient route planning
- Generating constructible output
Our database-driven system harnesses the power of mathematical algorithms to check all design criteria for every part of the network for performance and reliability BEFORE the network is built. Saving providers significant amounts of time and money by ensuring the network that is constructed is the most efficient and performant network possible. Because our system operates in a single GIS database, information stays accurate and is easily and instantaneously relayed to all stake holders during every phase of the network roll-out right into on-going management.
When choosing a system to plan and design your network it's important to consider how much time and money the system can help you save in the race to the pole, and also how the system will serve you in the on-going management of your network assets and data once the network is constructed. For many providers, the boom in fiber network demand is the chance of a lifetime. When quick turn-around and accurate data matter most, you can feel confident choosing 3-GIS Fiber Network Solutions as your complete answer for fiber network planning, design and management.
