Visualize and explore your network – graphically or geographically

With GIS-enabled telecoms inventory management, you can easily view the location of all your network assets. The GIS module is fully interactive, allowing you to zoom in on different locations, all the way down to trench, duct, fiber cable, manhole/handhole and enclosure level.

Open and Standardized

The GIS telecom information is based on our own geo-database, while you can select whichever background maps you prefer (such as Google, Bing, OpenStreet Maps, ESRI, or specific government agencies), and is fully aligned with your network inventory.

  • Visualize physical (active and passive), logical, virtual assets, workflows and more
  • Plot and control all connectivity types, color coded for convenience
  • Create complete Bill of Materials for current and planned connections

Understand Capacity and Plan More Effectively

With the GIS telecom module, users can select any type of connectivity to understand routes, current capacity, and the impact of changes. Plan new connections, with the optimum path automatically selected to manage costs and accelerate service deployment.

  • Create sites, expand views, and measure distances
  • Draw new connection paths and align with geo data
  • Manage network changes from a single interface

Interactive and Dynamic Network Maps

  • Automatic connectivity visualization: Draw connections, services, and equipment based on real-time database information.
  • Interactive maps with clickable objects: Open detailed records of equipment, manholes, splice boxes, and other network elements directly from the map.
  • Right-click menus provide quick access to object- specific actions and detailed insights.

Advanced Visualization and Data Insights

  • Graphical Circuit Paths: Instantly visualize worker and protection routes, including leased line details, directly from the database.
    • Customize visible details such as location, card specifications, DDF/ODF info, and more.

  • Highlight active connections (e.g., WDM, MPLS, VLAN, or fiber routes) in bold lines for quick identification.

  • Color-coded routes for connection statuses (e.g., planned, in-service, ready for service) or capacity utilization (green for available, yellow for moderate, red for full).

Sophisticated GIS Features

  • Fiber Revision red-lining feature: Mark up and annotate maps for collaborative planning and adjustments.
  • Auto-routing: Automatically determine optimal routes through the network, including street- level fiber trench routing.
  • 3D Z-position tracking: Register depth and height of cable routes to ensure precision in planning and operations.
  • Splicing diagrams and butterfly views: Visualize and manage fiber splicing details and underground infrastructure connections effectively.
  • Full support for point-to-point and FTTx/PON networks, including graphical and geographical end-to-end paths.

Outside Plant (OSP) Management

  • S2C’s GIS module provides reliable capabilities for managing physical infrastructure assets, including:
  • Passive Equipment: Trenches, ducts, fiber/copper cables, manholes, poles, splice boxes, splitters, and cassettes.
  • Active Equipment: OLTs, ONTs/ONUs, mobile RAN (2G/3G/4G/5G), microwave, WiFi, MPLS, and more.
  • Network Analysis Tools:
    • Perform Single Point of Failure (SPOF) analysis to identify vulnerabilities.
    • Conduct impact analysis for planned work or faults to assess service disruption.

Data Import, Export, and Reporting

  • Import/export geospatial data in Shape, GeoJSON, and KML/KMZ formats for seamless collaboration and integration.

  • Generate and export detailed reports with integrated maps, fiber routes, splicing diagrams, floor plans, and butterfly views to share with contractors and stakeholders.

  • Reports can be saved as PDF, Word, or HTML for flexible documentation needs.

Warehouse Integration with GIS

.

The GIS module integrates seamlessly with S2C’s warehouse and inventory management system to streamline material handling and resource allocation:

  • Link GIS to BOM/BOQ: Generate Bills of Materials and Quantities directly from GIS-planned work orders.
  • Track material availability and ensure accurate inventory assignment to specific geographic locations.
  • Align warehouse operations with real-time map views, ensuring efficient planning and execution of field tasks.

Enhanced Network Planning and Operations

  • Multi-object creation: Create multiple sites, equipment, or connections in one action, with automatic geo-coordinates and templates for configurations.
  • Capacity management: Monitor and plan capacity utilization across the network.
  • Fault handling and sales support: Use geo-visual insights to resolve issues quickly and identify opportunities for new connections close to existing infrastructure.

Rich export and reporting functions

Network maps can be imported and exported in Shape, GeoJSON, KML/KMZ format, as well as AutoCAD (.dwg). Create reports with images – maps, equipment views, floorplans, racks, cable routes, and more. Choose what to display and save in PDF, Word or HTML format.

  • Simple navigation, with zoom functions
  • Unique view of logical connections correlated with services
  • Reduce network outages, identify SPOFs and enhance sales
  • Fiber, copper, sub-sea, satellite, mobile, microwave
